I find this a good question and I don't really understand the 
point of being dependent on libc, especially when D is more than 
able to cover the functionality of libc completely of its own.

However, there might be situations you want it, like using 
malloc/free from libc rather than the Druntime allocator. This 
should be a non-default option though.

Independence gives D more control over its environment. The 
disadvantage is that the D project needs to do more, for example 
right now D is piggy backing on libc initialization (crt0) and if 
we are not using libc for that the D projects need to write 
platform dependent initialization which requires more work.

The goal for D should be as much libc independence as possible. 
While it require a lot of work, this approach can be gradual.

I found it pretty hard (unsurprisingly) to account for both 
Windows and Linux though, and kind of lost motivation for it.
