Headers converted to D. The ctod program from the digital mars site will 
  do an automatic conversion for you. You also need the coffimplib 
program to convert the .lib files from Microsoft/COFF format into OMF 
format.

Look on www.dsource.org in the 'bindings' project, several have already 
been converted.
