Please see the following project for an updated binding to 
Windows functions:

Typically you link to one of the distributed Windows DLLs via an 
import library, e.g. you would pass "kernel32.lib" at the 
command-line when calling DMD for any functions in the kernel32 
DLL. kernel32.lib is the import lib, and it's distributed along 
with DMD.
