The documentation for the mars implib is here:
http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/implib.html and has this:

/s[ystem]	- Prepend '_' to exported internal names. Used to create
import library from Windows NT system DLLs (for example,
kernel32.dll). Note that this switch is not available via the ID

I hope that helps, I don't actually do any windows programming so I
can't test this at all
