I don't know of an automated way of doing this is D. pragma(lib,...)  
exists, but it simply loads a specified static library. (i.e. to simplify  
linking/ project setup, etc). Personally, I'd just export  
extern(C)/extern(System) functions toa DLL, and link in a manually define  
the renamed DLL using a .def file and implib.
