@Laeeth

As a matter of fact, I've been working on HDF5 bindings for D as 
well -- I'm done with the binding/wrapping part so far (with 
automatic throwing of D exceptions whenever errors occur in the C 
library, and other niceties) and am hacking at the higher level 
OOP API -- can publish it soon if anyone's interested :) Maybe we 
can join efforts and make it work (that and standardizing a 
multi-dimensional array library in D).
