This is really easy to do:

1. Download the SDK: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bb980924
2. Use coffimplib to generate OMF import libs for gdi32.lib, kernel32.lib and
its friends.
3. Distribute these with DMD.

The gdi32.lib distributed with DMD, for example, is severely outdated. It's
half the size of a modern gdi32 import library.
