Yes, I thought that, too, but I thought that it could be quite an effort. 
Maybe later :) I thought that if I put the dmdfe dumping info from 
parsing, the same can be used for importing the tree to D. But I'll play 
around for awhile to find a suitable way of doing it.

Does it work with g++? I haven't yet used D2.0, but maybe it is time to 
try it out, too :)
