I'm not sure about cmake-d. I think dcarp stated somewhere that 
he wasn't actively using D any more, or something to that effect.

The fork of CMake is still active. Trentforkert said he is just 
waiting for things to progress in the D ecosystem before 
continuing work. (Mostly related to shared libraries.)

If you're willing to build and use the fork (it's actually really 
easy,) then you can use the CMake generator I wrote for dub a few 
months back. Simply run `dub generate cmake` and it will spit out 
build scripts for your project and all of its dependencies.
