i tried all possible variants -- both "/noi" and "/s", one of them and 
nothing at all. neither of variants works.

the thing is `extern(Windows)` ignores even `pragma(mangle)`, and 
insisting on names like "_InternetReadFile at 16". note the "@16" here -- 
this is the total size of arguments to `InternetReadFile()`. "wininet.dll" 
has names without that sizes, so -- no luck. "implib" can't determine the 
sizes by itself too. so there seems to be no way to create correct 
library without manually writing ".def" file for it.

p.s. i don't know why `extern(Windows)` ignores `pragma(mangle)`.
