Thanks, it seems to generate most of the bindings, even though 
the D branch of the repo is 5 years stale.

It doesn't provide an example on how to load them (only c and 
c++), and since the (generated) loader isn't implemented, but 
just an alias to some unknown function:

alias Loader = void* delegate(const(char)*);

I really love to have the bindings in bindbc, due to their nogc 
and nothrow attributes.

It might be a useful addition to make D more compatible with the 
android eco-system
