I've been messing around with Deimos lately, and I was a little bit confused about some of the design.
I saw that a couple (ZeroMQ, ncurses) didn't follow the usual structure of having a c/ and a deimos/ folder. Is this by design, or is it something that should be remedied?

Other things I was unsure about:
libmysql, libc, libruby, lua don't have any D files at all - some are just READMEs. Are these still under development?
libexif goes libexif/libexif/(d files) instead of libexif/deimos/libexif/(d files). Also by design?

Thank you,
Matt

I think that c/ folder is intended. At least I always included the c-headers.

I think Walter maintains the deimos repos, but he only creates them and merges pull-requests, but others do the bindings, so if someone requests a binding XY but doesn't submit a pull request for XY it stays empty.

I think that should be fixed, pull request?

ncurses is mine, Just tell me how you'd like it to change, and I'll fix it.

I've been meaning to fix that at some point...

I'm willing to manually bind one of those empty repos, but I understand that there has been quite a lot of interest in using dstep to automate the binding process completely.  Shrugs.  It seems to me its languishing in hopes of an automated tool.

Let me amend that. I won't do libc.  Too much preprocessor crap.
