I tried mine a while back using betterC but given I was already 
running without druntime the only noticeable difference was I no 
longer required these hacks;


//---
// So we compile without druntime
extern(C) __gshared void* _d_dso_registry;
extern(C) __gshared void* _Dmodule_ref;
extern(C) __gshared void* _d_arraybounds;
extern(C) __gshared void* _d_assert;
extern(C) __gshared void* _d_unittest;
//---
immutable auto VIDMEM_BASE = 0x800B8000;
static immutable ubyte egaBlack = 0;
st



GRUB worked as before for both 32 and 64 bit. But that doesn't 
mean much because my kmain was already extern(C) so the linkage 
was fairly typical.


bye,
Norm

Wow! Very good stuff in this one!

IIRC there used to be a protection supposed to prevent hijacking 
of package names, e.g someone that would register from a fork 
before the original package, blocking the original author, 
considered as more legit.


But https://github.com/dlang/dub-registry/pull/425/files seems to 
say that it should work now.
