Mir GLAS is a C library and passes Natlib's test suite! And questions :-)

For GPUs there is dcompute (also on libmir's github) on the way, 
although it'll be probably another month (exams, joy!) before the 
compiler stuff gets fully merged into LDC and we can start on an 
API that forwards to OpenCL/CUDA, and doesn't suck to use.

If you have any experience with either OpenCL or CUDA we'd love 
to have your input.
