Another possibility for this (and other linker errors) - given that dmd invokes
the linker, its stderr could be redirected and filtered. The compiler can then
give a nice error for a missing main() function, and also demangle symbol names
without the linker needing modification. This avoids the issue of main() being
in a library, but is also a bit more hacky.
