Also, SDL_Gfx support would be more than nice. Or is everyone just expected to use OpenGL ?

Actually I just ported SDL_gfxPrimitives.c for my project works great, if anyone's interested, I can send it/commit it.

here are some ideas of top of my head, don't take them as granted, those are just ideas roaming in my head I may like or not would like to hear others opinions on them too.

- ditch SDL altogether and use either SFML (there is a recent binding for it) or build a full fledged port of it to D - maybe even upgrade from there, I would gladly help around this
- streamline OpenGL binding to be a) more current (3.x) b) and semi automatic to update via some utility or something - I'm thinking more in line of a GL basecode and GLEE on top of it
- abstract interface over GFX so that OGL sits as a "driver" below it, D3D, Software rasterization, OpenGL ES should then be more easier to integrate
- SFML code based input and build from there - to utilize for example xbox360 controller in windows
- static linkage vs dynamic - both should be an easy option
- base all your future code on LDC as it is the future and DMD as a backup
- Tango only but I'm biased
- clean from the ground up math library written in D, there are some really nice ones floating around, easy to use and fast. I wrote recently my own which is more on the verbose side than performance (i still need to benchmark it) which purpose is solely for usage in 3D graphics
- if not clean D math lib, then what about bullet math lib which was donated by Sony/SCE?
- Bullet
- JSON reader/writer, though that might be more in line for Tango, not derelict. So we can utilize JSON for various stuff...

edit:
- Physics abstraction layer maybe? http://www.adrianboeing.com/pal/index.html
- COLLADA
- h3's hybrid, but hybrid should maybe first be decoupled from OGL

I know I had some more in mind, but it is enough for now. What do you think?
