I was fairly appalled at the response so I have requested ability to
clone the C/C++ stuff so as to add D and send in pull requests. Whatever
anyone things of Gradle (or SCons) for D, it is looking more and more
like Gradle is the route to build on Android. So if we want D on Android
ensuring "buildable with Gradle" is a way of removing a hurdle.
