digitalmars.D - XPCOM language binding for D?

I'd love to see a bridge between Mozilla's XPCOM and D, so that I could 
write components in D.  Is anyone out there willing to do this?

Is that related at all to the effort required to build a Mozilla plugin? Because
"mozplugged" is "a mozilla plugin that acts as a wrapper to load D plugins".

No, the Mozilla plugin API is completely different.

Bobef has his mozplugged project (which I mentioned in an earlier post), 
but apparently Mozilla plugins are completely different than XPCOM.

Don't worry about it. I thought they were similar, too, but Alex told me 
that they were different.

I asked around about this a few months ago, and it didn't look like anyone
had done it yet.  You might check out the BCD project on dsource.org and
give a crack at it yourself.  It might be that BCD will work for it out of
the box.

I'd also be interested in seeing this, BTW.

That might work.  There's only one problem:  I can't really develop it 
myself right now.  I'm swamped with other things on my plate, and I 
don't have the time to figure out how to implement a XPCOM binding. 
That's why I'm asking for someone else to do the nuts & bolts investigation.
