Nope, it's simpler than that - the linker just needs the .exp file
(auto-generated when building the DLL, just like the import library) as
additional input file when linking the executable (besides the static curl
library of course). The executable then features the exports, and std.net.curl
works as expected. See https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/3376 (incl.
a link to a prebuilt package).
