That's strange.  I know that I had to add -S option for the library 
search path in order for these symbols to be found, but I'm surprised 
that it needs both the dmc and the dwt-win-imports version together in 
order to work.  The library versions provided in dwt-win-imports should 
be much more up to date (and all that's necessary).  I'll test this and 
see what's wrong.  It might be that the tango library expects one 
library for the windows functions (tango-win32-dmd.lib) and dwt another, 
in which case linking with both would indeed be necessary.

Yes, first I'll see what the problem is exactly, then the docs can be 
updated.

Thanks for the report.
