which let's be honest did 90.357% (roughly) of the work =E2=80=93 thoughts =
turn
to maintenance and distribution. So a few questions/comments:

1. Is Deimos "alive and well" as a place to host the current state of a
D adaptor library, or is it best to just have a repository somewhere:
Git/GitHub, Git/BitBucket, Mercurial/BitBucket, Bazaar/Launchpad.

2. There needs to be an idiomatic process for updating DStep generated
but manually amended libraries using DStep.

3. I take it as given this needs to be in the Dub repository, is this
fair?

4. DStep is great.

No, I would avoid Deimos.

Yes, GitHub to make it accessible to Dub.

DStep has a flag to ignore translating the specified symbols. If you 
specify that flag for the symbols you need to translate manually. would 
that be an ok workflow?

 3. I take it as given this needs to be in the Dub repository, is this
 fair?

Yes. If think there's specific category in Dub for bindings to C 
libraries [1].

 4. DStep is great.

Thanks :)
