Nice! I just started reading, and noticed you're using toStringz for 
strings.
I've tried using SDL with D before, and I noticed that you don't need to 
use toStringz at all, for example, this works just fine:

SDL_WM_SetCaption("My SDL Window", null);

at least it worked when I tried it.

That works because string literals in D are implicitly null-terminated, 
although the literal length won't reflect that.  The problem arises when you 
try to pass in a dynamically created string, which is usually not 
null-terminated.
