I just started doing D networking today, so I may just be doing
something wrong / stupid.... but I can not find the "ip_mreq"
struct anywhere.

I ended up just making my own in my module

struct ip_mreq
{
           in_addr imr_multiaddr;
           in_addr imr_interface;
}

And then I was able to continue and successfully process
multicast.

The ipv6 things seem to be available.

I was hoping it would be picked up by import std.c.linux.socket;

In /usr/include/dmd , running
       find . -type f -exec grep -Hi "ip_mreq" {} \;
returns no results.

Am I doing something wrong or is this just an oversight somehow?

The vast amount of C declarations that could be done on D simply aren't 
done until someone needs them. So no, you aren't doing anything wrong, 
no it's not an oversight :)

If you like it to be part of the main library, submit a pull request, 
and I'll be happy to review.

One thing -- you should extern(C) the struct so the symbol is not 
mangled (extern(C): is probably already done at the top of the file, so 
you may not need to do this if you add it to std.c.linux.socket)
