I only discovers D a few days ago, but already I am considering recoding my game
stats tool (AEstats) written in ANSI C. I would love to be able to control a
database from my code, though:

Sofar I have been using Cygwin and Linux (Suse/Debian) to create executable for
Windows and Linux. Alas ANSI C will probably never interface with MySQL or DB
XML.

Has anyone been able to make D use/control a database library like MySQL or DB
XML? 

For both of these DBs C++ libs exist, but since D is no C++ lib link compatible
(from D online manual), I am wondering if there is *any* way to control a
"powerful widespread" database from D at all?

Thanx.

there are some database bindings (I know at least sqlite) on the dool 
page over at dsource.org. I  think there is also a mySQL binding as 
well, but I don't know where. So yeah, it's possible. If you have it 
written in C, then there should be no problems converting over to D
