gdcwin for linking with Visual Studio libs?

[Bill Baxter]

If I understand it correctly, dmd and gdc cannot link with MSVC C libs 
because of different object file formats, right?

But can I link MSVC code with D code if I use the MinGW gcc d compiler 
(gdcwin)?  From what I understand a MinGW .o can just be renamed .obj 
and a MinGW .a to .lib and it'll link using MSVC.

Has anyone tried such things?  The gdcwin page 
(http://gdcwin.sourceforge.net) doesn't say much about the topic.
