FWIW we do have Travis and auto-tester configured to run the dmd-cxx 
branch, see e.g.:

https://auto-tester.puremagic.com/?projectid=17 (one some platforms we 
can even build druntime)

It's just that Iain is the only one so far who showed interest in the 
dmd-cxx branch.
As you can see it's based on 2.068.2 and contains all commits until 
last-cdmd:

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7014
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7015

And a few backports from gdc:

https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7017
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7227

There are similar dmd-cxx branches at druntime and Phobos.
Of course, work to improve the status quo is very welcome ;-)
