I know Bullet is the most noteworthy open-source physics
library, but if you intent is to have a D-style physics lib for
games/apps you might have a lot more success porting a C#
physics engine like Jitter
(http://jitter-physics.com/wordpress/) over to D first (then
possibly adapt some stuff from Bullet into the code once it's
stable). Porting a C# codebase to D should be much less of a
struggle.
We use Jitter in our C# game libs, and in some cases we've
experienced it even beating Bullet in terms of runtime
performance in some test cases (granted I don't know near as
much about performance tuning in Bullet).
That definitely looks like an interesting library; I might have
to research it more. However, I'll probably stick with Bullet for
now; it seems to be more mature, and since I'm leaning toward
using a binding rather than a port, Bullet is probably the easier
option because I don't have to fiddle with the C# garbage
collector.
