I set up a few sections on the Wiki4D about porting to D from various 
languages.  I would like to encourage anyone who has advice to D to add 
to the appropriate pages:

http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?PortingOverview

And if the appropriate page doesn't exist (ObjC or Fortran or whatnot), 
just add it.  It's a wiki!

I plan to add more to the C++ page, but I probably won't touch the 
others any further (except maybe to make minor edits to what others write).

I could do soemthing on C++ to Java, though I'm not sure how relevant that
would be ;-P.

Sure! Then the C++ to D porting section can be just one line: "See C++ 
to Java section and then Java to D section".

Or not.  :-P

Incredibele  :)

Seriously, advice regarding porting from major languages to D is indeed 
a win!

.. like to suggest to use the C++ to D stuff as Draft, because it is a 
systematic approach.
Just my opinion

I have added a few lines to the C++ section : *Windows specific Issues*.
Would be nice if somebody is willing to verify.
You'll find it at
