mozplugged is mozilla plugin that acts as a wrapper to load D plugins.
I wrote this for the XUL port of my rulesPlayer, but now I am having 
second thoughts about Mozilla's XUL (the API sucks ass, slow, buggy) and 
I think am not going to develop it further. So am posting the source if 
anyone is interested in writing plugins for mozilla in D. It don't have 
any dependencies and some classes (NPObject, NPVariant, NPIdentifier) 
are nice wrapped in D. I haven't tested it under linux but it would take 
an hour or two port.

I've been reading about XPCOM since I'm planning on writing a GUI app, and
want to use Gecko to render a ton of stuff.  Does the dplug part of
mozplugged allow me to interface with XPCOM, or is more work required to do
that?

BTW- I've been using XUL professionally, and after a few months with it,
we've decided to ditch it in favor of HTML with javascript... I'm no longer
a fan of XUL either.

You will need headers and libraries to link with... I don't know...
