  Description     : Create D bindings from GObject introspection files

GirToD is a small command-line tool which builds D bindings from
GObject Introspection (GIR) data. GIR is used by a large amount of
GLib/GObject-based libraries.


This is now a dependency of the appstream-generator, which is the
primary reason I want it. The secondary reason is because it might in
the long run reduce the amount of generated code shipped with the
current gtk-d packages.
It also is generally incredibly useful, as it allows using any C
library that shipts with GIR easily from D.

The packaging will be done under the D team umbrella or maybe GNOME
team, I don't know yet what makes more sense (likely the former
though).
