Second the full OS bindings. etc\c\win32 would be really nice. You'll not get cross platform support, but at least you have it handy.

For OpenGL bindings there is Derelict: http://www.dsource.org/projects/derelict I know. As far as I can see, D is a good option for indie gamedevs and hobbyists who want to try their hand at making games. For that reason, a 'batteries included' version would be a good idea, IMO. -- Simen |

You guys have no idea, how much its hurting D.
At my work place, we wanted to quickly develop a small gui tool, considered python and D, guess which we picked? pyhton, just because tkInter comes packaged with python, even though it sucks. Now tkInter in python became the official gui lib for such tools!
