It makes me wonder how practical it would be to build upon their work to
extend the support for C++ D already has.

Ok, THIS is seriously cool, if I had this today for D it would make my  
life about 10 times simpler. Interoperation with D and .NET is currently  
only possible via either PInvoke (but no objects) or via COM which is  
clunky and not cross-platform. This would solve that. And like with this  
tool it could be done by feeding a tool the proper .DI files. Definitely  
something worthy of investigation.

Seems no less cross platform than .Net:

hmm... maybe I should be looking at making Juno work with Mono...
Probably not too likely.

I like their approach. They're using gcc-xml to parse c++ files and
generate approtiated wrapper code. maybe we could write a similar tool
for d.

Project is Not up to date.
AFAIK gcc-xml is a dead project. Thanks to David Nadlinger SWIG  has now 
official D1 abd D2 Support. Since SWIG also supports a subset of  C++ 
templates it is IMO the better choice.
