I pushed the changes to my github today. Still a few little 
changes I want to make, but nothing major. (for example, the 
input enum is based on my US keyboard, so it doesn't have entries 
for other keys. But that's generally additive so should be be 
major breakage.)

simpledisplay.d and color.d are the two you'll need.


To make an OpenGL window:


         import simpledisplay;
         auto win = new SimpleWindow(Size(400, 400), "GL Test", 
OpenGlOptions.yes);

      // this uses a delegate so it can be automatically called 
when the window is uncovered
         win.redrawOpenGlScene = {
                glBegin(GL_QUADS);
                // blah blah blah
                glEnd();
         }

         win.redrawOpenGlSceneNow();
         win.eventLoop(0);


I'm not completely happy with this and might change some things, 
but the meat is there now. simpledisplay.d includes some opengl 
function definitions, but not all of them.

On Windows, you need to explicitly add -version=with_opengl and 
get your own opengl32.lib and glu32.lib since they don't come 
with dmd yet. (I wish Walter would reply to that thread!)
