I'm honestly not sure what the scope of the project is, but one 
option is to make the normal D runtime work with Newlib or some 
other portable libc for embedded systems.  That would create a 
lot of possibilities (even if not all D runtime features are 
supported).  It would also help define the minimal requirements 
for the D runtime, making pure-D bare metal easier.

BTW, PowerNex is a cool project.
