Gah, I'm so stupid, I can't believe I missed that in the 
documentation... Examining the .lst file shows that the extern(C) and 
extern(Windows) symbols are all there; Daniel Keep solved the problem, 
it wasn't anything wrong (possibly sub-optimal) in the .h file converted 
to .d file, but that I was doing the following:
	dmd -run test.d OrcFxAPI.d OrcFxAPI.lib
Since dmd -run only uses the first file argument to actually do 
compilation etc, the other files were being ignored, as soon as I ran 
the test.exe, everything worked (was very frustrated with myself).

So I say to all who replied a very big thank you, I really appreciate 
the effort in helping a n00b along the path to learning/using D, keep up 
the noble work :D

Thanks again.
Chris.
