why? (except you want to use the existing C runtime code)

ok maybe a bootstrap is needed - dmd/phobos links with snn.lib produced 
by dmc, and another compile/link run for dmd and phobos - with an D 
version of snn.lib

i don't the big technical difficulty here - any special case? something 
that can't be done with D?

do the WinApi needs some form of C-Runtime initalisation on 
Application-side? (i don't think so) - and the excecption-stuff is 
win-api based not c-runtime, or?
