Could I recommend you evaluate IUP first?
(http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/iup/)

It is cross-platform, MIT licensed, mature, and is by the same
guys that _wrote_ Lua.  Oh, and Lua is bundled already, of
course.  Plus it has a pure C interface (easy to wrap), canvas,
GL support, imaging, plotting, webkit, scintilla editor support
plus more.

I certainly don't want to discourage any input in pure D, but it
would be a much less daunting exercise, IMO.  I personally think
the way D has adopted the CURL library to gain some quick wins in
the network protocol area is probably a more sustainable model
given the size of the community.

Its gonna take a long time to get anywhere if everything is NIH.

Just my 2c.
