For me, I figured a good start would be your basic Unix/Linux/BSD
utilities, like cat and grep. I figure it may make the code easier to
read and maintain as well as potentially improve the quality of the
software. Of course, most of these are so old they're probably quite bug
free, but some probably could use a rewrite. Some may even benefit for
threading.
Anyone else?

I wouldn't spend much time on rewriting classic utilities in D. There's
plenty to be done anew. One category of tools to be written in D are
utilities aimed at D itself (parsers, analyzers, Thrift bindings,
protocol buffers bindings, code for DB interface, etc.)
