raylib.a isn't going to get you anywhere. You'll run into issues 
mixing MinGW-compiled libraries.

If raylib doesn't ship precompiled VS binaries, then, assuming 
you have Visual Studio (or the MS Build tools) installed, you 
should compile Raylib with that same version. Then you'll have a 
new raylib.dll and a raylib.lib. Add raylib.lib to your dub 
config via the "libs" directive.
