is there a way parts of it could be automated (if so which parts)

this might help D a lot if people that want to learn/rewrite a 
library would get support and appropriate tooling.
also best practices and help on how C patterns can be transformed 
to (safe!) d code.

There's DStep [1], but that will only translate the headers to D 
modules. If you try it, please build it yourself from master. The 
binaries are very old.
