You can do this sort of thing with Build.

version(build) { 
    pragma(export_version, MY_VERSION);
    version(Windows) {
        pragma (build_def, "EXETYPE NT");
        pragma (build_def, "SUBSYSTEM WINDOWS,4.0")
    }
}

Though the Windows subsystem is normally handled automatically but the
pragma allows you to override the standard values.
