Exactly what I am doing :-)

Don't forget SCons, which has built in support for D as a first class
language, peer with C, C++ and Fortran.

Dub is shaping up to be the One True Build system for D. Hopefully it
also build C and C++, I haven't tried that.

Ensure you use GTK+ 3 widgets. The new GTK+ idiom is to use an
Application instance and an ApplicationWindow for the top-level window.
All windows should probably use HeaderBars rather than having menus.
