Qt Creator and D

[Mike Farnsworth]

I'm also interested in this.  I use Qt Creator all the time for 
my usual projects and my job, and having D support would be 
fantastic and would really help motivate me to spend more time 
with D.  At some point I'd like to look into how to add new 
language support in there, if I can find some spare time.
