I'll be posting the D debugger I've been working on at dsource this

be a set of debugging libraries that you can build your own debugger
with, along
with a Debug Engine plug-in for Visual Studio.
I'll post another announcement as soon as it's available.
Very nice, sir!
Does the plug-in work for all versions of VS? And is it supposed to work
with Visual D?

It's for D 2. From the beginning I had no intent to make it compatible
with D 1.
The Visual Studio plug-in is for 2005, 2008, and 2010. I haven't looked
into if it works for earlier versions.
My understanding is that VisualD could easily be made to use this plug-in,
instead of the built-in C++ one. It should be a matter of switching the
GUID for the Debug Engine used.
Part of the reason I wanted to make this debugger is that using cv2pdb,
although a great tool that helped fill a need, means:
1. Relying on the built-in C++ debugger, which means you get a C++
expression evaluator.
2. Using undocumented interfaces.
3. Using Microsoft binaries that might not be redistributable (I'm not
completely sure of this).
