What is the progress on this project? I am planning of working on 
a game project that involves using physx and offcourse D. It 
looks like there would be a lot of work just writing D 
boilerplate code to interface with C++ and alot of unknowns it 
seems.

With this realized as a clang plugin, its supposed to 
automatically generate the bindings for D?
