I managed to get expat to compile under DMC.  As it turns out, it's not that hard at all.

Details are posted on my website:

The gist of it is that you need to hack-in some settings so it compiles correctly.  I've outlined a method that's a little more overt than masquerading as MSVC6.  Once you have .obj files to play with, there's almost no need to build a .lib.  Just throw them on the command line to DMD, along with your .d files, and you're all set.

On linux I've just copied D binding file, imported it and added -L-lexpat to Makefile. I haven't tested this fully but everything seems to work just as you wrote on your site. Are you going to provide full import file? That is what I'm most interested in. I guess I can easily add new functions but I do not wish to duplicate your work.

My sincerest apologies for getting this out so late.  My CMS had a small quirk when linking the file to the outside world; the path wasn't resolving correctly, plus the attachment headers were all wrong.

Now a little warning: I banged this out in about 30 minutes, and only really made sure it compiles.  There's no telling if I didn't accidentally dropped any parameters or left out some handles entirely.  Hopefully, that'll be easy enough to check once it gets used for some real work.

I've also linked it as a comment to the webpage I provided earlier.  Enjoy!
