Thanks Jacob. The extern(C) is temporary. I'm doing a direct port of the 
code to D using -betterC. Wanted to keep it as close to the original as 
possible until everything compiles.

I noticed that static this() does not work if either it or main() (or 
both) is marked extern(C). To fix the issue, I simply moved the static 
this() and main() above the extern(C) and the deprecation error disappears.
