I make this library to create a few classes for creating some 
simple GUI components (window, buttons, text boxes, that's about 
it) as a bit of a learning exercise, and for practical use. 
"test.d" is not part of the library, it is just for testing the 
library. What I could do that would definatly work is:

--------------
File "test.d":
--------------

import core.runtime;
import core.sys.windows.windows;
import MyLib;

pragma(lib, "MyLib.lib);

extern(Windows) {
     WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE hPrevInst, LPSTR CmdLine, 
int CmdShow) {
         MyLibInit(hInst, hPrevInst, CmdLine, CmdShow);
     }

----ENDFILE----

So I can then just pass everything my lib requires to it and then 
there is no need for progMain. I'm asking this question as with 
QT's source, it uses WinMain: 
https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/blobs/HEAD/src/winmain/qtmain_win.cpp

80	/*
81	  WinMain() - Initializes Windows and calls user's startup 
function main().
82	  NOTE: WinMain() won't be called if the application was 
linked as a "console"
83	  application.
84	*/
85	
86	#ifdef Q_OS_WINCE
87	int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE instance, HINSTANCE prevInstance, 
LPWSTR /*wCmdParam*/, int cmdShow)

Yet you can still use "main()" from your program and then link to 
QT's dll and use its functionality. I know that is C++ but that's 
where I'm comming from with this.

I think you are right and my library isn't supposed to try access 
"test.d"'s methods, classes, etc. and be self contained. So 
should I rather go with the WinMain in my main program then pass 
the parameters to MyLib like I showed before the QT reference?
