We can add some libs to portage, like Derelict, tango, arclib, yage3d
build tools like bud, dsss and apps like leds, etc... you can go to
http://www.dsource.org/projects/
there are a lot of interesting projects. It's very interesting because
it's the time
to define the clean way to install a package and allow people to use D
in a simple way like it is with C/C++.
