You can also do it for regular Windows programs (i.e. in your WinMain), but 
in that case you can also just use the standard D "int/void main()" and use 
some Windows API functions to get the values which are usually passed as 
parameters to WinMain.  This way you don't have to do the D initialization 
crap; D will handle that for you.
