Don't forget the implementation of WinMain that has to be copied in each 
win32 D project :(

I wish dmd would include a higher-level entry point for win32 GUI apps. 
Perhaps just "int main(char[][])" but with a flag to make it a GUI app 
(like bud/build has, but actually including the GC init/deinit, etc).
