One of the things I hated when I started using D was links to dsource libraries. I think that writing new libraries in D is often a mistake for that very reason. Bindings to C libraries is what we need. Put everything into one D file if possible, wrapping just the stable core functionality with a few convenience features tossed in, and maintenance is no longer an issue. There's nothing sexy abut that approach, and that's kind of the point.
What happend to that Calypso project? I suppose libclang also would allow you to inspect C header-files and then maybe it would be possible to synthesize Dish bindings from it on the fly? Not that I have given it much thought.
