D - Wish list (not mine)

Walter, would it be possible to post a wishlist of things that you'd 
like added to Phobos?  Or things that you'd like to see in D in general. 
  That would give those of us with the time and the will to help some 
place to start in terms of building up the library.  Or is someone else 
handling the library?

One thing that he asked for back in January was a port of zlib.  I spent 
some effort on it, enough to decide that I'd rather be having fun in my 
off time.  :-)

I'll take a look at it.  Maybe some of us in the community should 
sychronize our efforts at a C->D converter.  I don't really know much 
about the projects that are out there, but I know that there is more 
than one.  Mike, Pavel, care to talk a little about the programs that 
you're working with to convert C programs and headers into D?

Sure, I did not know anyone else had started on,

I assume you've read the doc I put online, I have about half of it working,
hoped to post something this weekend but got sidetracked writing a GBA
raycaster.

(hence the RegExp problems)

Haven't yet, but I know that Pavel has talked about using one for some 
things.  Anyway, let me know if you need some help.  Something like that 
could be a real boon in quickly building up a robust and workable library.

Something that could do FTPs would be cool if you're ambitious!

Should that wait on a native D sockets library?
