Thanks for the suggestion!  I'll be happy to try it out next
time I have an opportunity to use D.  Unfortunately the window
has closed on my current project.  I just can't afford any more
schedule slip.

Not sure why he had you break up the file. It should be as simple as changing the line "module std.getopt;" to something simple like "module getopt" then importing "import getopt;" and include the new file within the build.

Anyway, D's libraries are not as extensive as Python/Ruby/Perl.

True, but they wouldn't need to have much more to pass the
good-enough threshold for me.  In my current position I
mostly write relatively simple server side programs.  So a
good logger + command line handling + cgi interface support
is really enough for what I commonly do.  An sftp library
would be hand too, but I can find plenty of work for D to do
without it.

In the future I hope to investigate vibe.d, since a threaded,
cross-platform, standalone server for our data would be nice
to have.

Too late I see, but maybe next time it will provide you a way to search available projects faster.

On DUB http://code.dlang.org/ there is one project that looks like address the issues you had with std.getopt, "post-rock". Have not used it so I cannot give any further recommendations. Maybe you will find there others.
