I seem to recall those are the kinds of errors you run into when you
define constants in an extern(Windows) block as "const" instead of
using an enum.  The problem is that extern(Windows) things don't get
mangled with their package name, so if you have the same constant in
two places you will get a clash.  Enums doing use storage, though, so
they don't clash.  Maybe that will help you get to the root of the
problem.
