As someone who works in R&D in software/electronics, I can say I do this kind of thing regularly.

Not specifically with a DE15 (for that I'd just chop up an old VGA cable), but I work with a lot of proprietary connectors. Some of the connectors are scarce, and sometimes we just wire them manually if the work isn't too extensive.
