It's not that bad; no compile time magic and zero runtime overhead is
possible: http://repo.or.cz/w/girtod.git/tree/gtk2:/gtk2

While I haven't updated those bindings  in ~2 two years, they should
still work; may just need some tweaks, to deal with recent d language
changes and to support newer lib features. The biggest remaining issue
is lack of integrated Cairo bindings.
