Yeah, unless the main() is in D, you need to run initialization
functions.
The way I recommend doing it is to write your own extern(C)
MyLib_Init and MyLib_Term functions. Then have their
implementations call the import core.runtime; Runtime.initialize()
http://dlang.org/phobos/core_runtime.html#initialize
This way, you can do other init stuff for your lib too without
the user worrying about those details. Furthermore, having to
call a library init function is somewhat normal for C libs, so
the user shouldn't think much of it.
