It generates a single file "gl.d" which by default will do no

Sorry, but I can't understand why you would want to have this
instead of Derelict.
A few reasons:
- It's one file that does JUST the opengl stuff. With derelict,
the functions it provides overlap with the platform SDK. Sure you
can prevent conflicts by aliasing them but it's messy and a waste.
- Derelict requires countless files over two different
sub-projects just to get simple opengl support. You would
certainly want to build it separately and then link it in, with
this it's just a case of adding one file to your project.
- I'm building on top of this, this way it's one fewer dependency
to worry about.
- Because it's generated automatically from the spec it will
always be up to date (currently 4.3, whereas derelict is only on
2.1!).
