 I doubt this is going to be part of the agenda for quite some time.

I has something to do with the os, you already have object.d, system.d and a
std folder for example.

Which actually has..nothing to do with the underlying OS. Really not at 
all. The implemented syscalls providing the functionality for the 
runtime have something to do with it, but..that's very indirect.

system.d is just a file with some "system-y" functionality.  It might be 
moved into util.d or turned into a "stdlib" kind of thing.

All the other things have nothing to do with a standard library.  object.d, 
and the std and gcc folders are all required to get GDC to work properly. 
Notice dstubs.d which declares a ton of stubbed-out language runtime 
functions for things like AAs, arrays, exception handling, OOP stuff etc. 
that the compiler expects to be there, but most of them are just 
"assert(false)" bodies right now.
