I think the Bare Metal Runtime suggestion on the GSoC ideas page 
conflated a few separate projects into one.  My other post in 
this thread elaborates on that.

I don't have much, if anything, to offer, as I've never 
participated in GSoC or written a similar proposal.  It looks 
like an awful lot of work, but I hope the project gets selected 
and is a success.  I think it would be great for D in the long 
run.

I'm JinShil, the author of memcpyD and some of the other projects 
linked on the GSoC ideas page.  My interest is mostly in 
microcontrollers and embedded systems, and I've only dabbled in 
memcpy and malloc/free implementations, but you're welcome to 
contact me if you have anything you'd like to discuss.

Good Luck!

Mike
