i too wait now for a long, long time to use it with win64. i am also
giving up - i guess it will stay a linux/apple show.
maybe, as a multiple os compiler, you can use lazarus or code typhon.
cheers.

Clang can parse windows.h these days, it might be worthwhile to use their toolchain to dump the various SDKs of windows.h into some kind of database with it, and write an exporter for the database to D. I imagine there is some overlap here that other languages could use something like this to provide up to date windows bindings (MingW in particular, and anyone else making new languages)

I'm sure some hand additions would need to exist but a huge amount of the API could probably be handled with something like that.
