I suppose so (or "link" pragma using dsss/bud).  So you're saying it 
could be considered "Derelict's fault" for not providing that pragma.

On Windows, the equivalent libs (containing 
LoadLibraryA/FreeLibrary/GetProcAddress) seem to be linked by default, 
by someone in the toolchain.  DMD or DSSS, I'm not sure which.

So it seems reasonable that it should be there by default under Linux, too.
