Addendum: The plot thickens. If I build a dll with my VC++ Express 2010
then I can convert the import library and it actually works from D.
However if I build with MinGW GCC it doesn't even recognise the library
even though it is COFF format. My preferred route unfortunately is GCC.
I just got 'The D Programming Language' book and that devotes a whole
half page to this very important topic. This seems to be rather a
minefield and so far there only seems to be one route through it.
