That sounds promising, but I dont think thats the problem:

~~~
$ objdump -x libcurl.lib | ag curl_global_init
[17](sec  1)(fl 0x00)(ty  20)(scl   2) (nx 0) 0x00000000 curl_global_init
[32](sec  1)(fl 0x00)(ty  20)(scl   2) (nx 0) 0x000000a0 curl_global_init_mem

Have you ever built a D program that uses static LibCurl? Because I find it
hard
to believe what you are saying. I have built hundreds of static Windows
programs
over the years, and the shared libary was never required at runtime or build
time.
