And I don't mean "with C" or anything like that, just ordinary D.

> type main.d
module main;
import theLib;
void main()
{
    foo();
}

> type theLib.d
module foo;
import std.stdio;
void foo()
{
    writeln("In foo");
}

Same results for "-LtheLib".
I saw something about "-L-ltheLibNameHere" somewhere, but "-L-ltheLib.lib" 
gets me:

And with "-L-ltheLib" the message just says "LTHELIB" instead of 
"LTHELIB.LIB"
