That's a major problem.
With D you spend way too much time creating bindings or even wrappers to  
access external libraries rather than doing actual work.

We really need a proper tool to convert C/C++ headers, probably based on  
Clang.
That way one could even add partial conversion support for source files  
afterwards to ease porting.

And C++ interoperability needs to be improved.
It's just insane to wrap a monster like Qt in C code and then recreating  
the whole class hierarchy at the D site - both performance and executable  
file size wise.
