Lets not forget things like barcode generators, qrcode and pdf

One of my larger D web projects included QR code generation - it
was a printable coupon site.
I did it by just calling system("qrencode")... or whatever the
program was called, instead of bothering with a library, then did
the rest with plain image management (which I do have in D).
I'm sure I could have called a C lib or something too, but the
command line interface was easy and quick to slap together.
It was easy and worked pretty well. Over years of using D in
production for a few different startups, I never hit a problem I
couldn't quickly solve.
