I did as you suggested and had a look through what was on my 
system.  Having done so I now think that the documentation at:

http://dlang.org/phobos/index.html

is out of date.

If you look at the section under "Imports", this appears to be 
describing what is available under from C, but it appears to 
suggest that you use std.c.config - or at least that is how I 
would have read it.
