We'll also need updated versions of the Windows import libs (since the 
ones provided with D don't have the recent functions). Do you have a 
license to redistribute the more recent ones?

Secondly, do you think it would be possible to use pragma(lib) to 
eliminate the concept of 'default libraries' at least for the Windows 
headers?
It seems to me that that's another C/C++ annoyance that D could abolish.
