Yes, I used the .bc files generated by cmake. When compiling with 
the library there is a multiple symbol definition error (opErr as 
I recall - I'm not at my pc right now).

I believe you are correct; after I originally posted I realised 
there was no way the runtime would work out of the box, and 
without the runtime there would be little point in using D (the 
hope was to use the same code on the client and server so I 
didn't have to write/maintain the same functionality twice). When 
I saw the port of Unreal Engine my excitement must have clouded 
my judgment.
