I'm well aware of the fact - my work depends on SDL, OpenGL and FreeType using the Derelict bindings (Those probably don't belong to Deimos as they're not absolutely thin bindings although they don't wrap the APIs in any way) I'm trying to write D libraries instead of bindings to C when possible, though - this results less dependencies and much better API. (That only works for small libraries, though - I have no interest in spending next 10 years rewriting something like OGRE3D)
