Derelict is raw OpenGL + automatically loading the dynamic libraries. 
I'm looking at the Dreliect3 source code. I can't see that it publicly 
import any Windows types/functions from the OpenGL files. If file "main" 
imports file A which imports file B, that doesn't mean that "main" will 
have access to file B. As far as I can see, you shouldn't have any 
conflicts.

Yes, they are just regular C .lib files. But if you're using DMD 32bit 
they need to be in the OMF format but the Microsoft linker and SDK uses 
the COFF format.

You need to add the following flag when compiling :

-L/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE:4.0
