What kind of stuff would you need? I admit I did spend several
weekends doing prep work on libraries before proposing it to the
client - had to write mysql, cgi, http get and post, my xml code, and
some helper functions to extend std.json before I was confident enough
in having the libraries to propose it, but now I have that, and can
share if it sounds useful.

The only place where library lacking has hit me so far is interfacing
with Facebook. For that part of the app, I still use PHP. I'd like to
port it eventually, implementing oauth and such in a nice, generic
way, but I haven't gotten around to it yet... still, the vast majority
of what I need I can do now in plain D.
