It depends on specific IDE.

It's GUI framework (set of libraries) what I cannot release. IDE 
is without the libs quite useless.

Wouldn't be that hard but the project have 200k lines of code. 
Making header files manually is a wast of time what i don't have.

But the point is that D compiler specification[1] looks like this 
part works without a problem and is usable but it's a lie and 
nobody cares about it. Actually it will not ruin my project but 
complicates it. And this is not the way in which should business 
be made. 10 years of development and still some key features 
won't work properly.
