Easier way to add libraries to visual d?

[TheDGuy via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Hi,
i use Visual D as a plugin for visual studio to create D 
applications. But what bothers me a bit is that i have to tell 
visual D the exact link to the .lib file for every lib i want to 
use in the project (!).
So these are the steps i have to make to get an external lib 
working:

1. create a new folder in D:\dmd2\src\ with the name of the 
library
2. edit the 'sc.ini' file in D:\dmd2\windows\bin\ and add 
"-I%@P%\..\..\src\[foldername]" under '[Environment]' for every 
lib i want to use
3. add the .lib file to D:\dmd2\windows\lib
4. add the path to the lib in visual studio (project properties 
-> Linker -> General -> Library Files)

Why do i have to do that? Why can i not just use one folder for 
the library files in visual d and the compiler searches the .lib 
files for each library which was imported into the project on its 
own?

Is there an easier way to use libraries?
