First of all, there is no 64bit compiler for FreeBSD. I was
researching about gdc and Iain Buclaw told me (on IRC) that there
might be problem with dmd runtime on FreeBSD.

Moreover, "QtD requires a patched dmd compiler.", so I simply do not
have time to fight such things.

Can you name me some serious GUI application using e.g. QtD & sqlite
database badck-end written in D2?

Right. I'm not college student, want to program in my free time and
desire to write open-source application instead of building ecosystem
for what I anyway do not have required skills. :-)
