Does this include adapting druntime to use the new bindings?

There might be some incompatibilities, for example due to how the 
HANDLE type is declared. In C, you can use either 0 or NULL as a 
parameter to a function accepting an integer or pointer. In D, 
you cannot. IIRC, some types were declared differently in 
Druntime's modules and in the win32 bindings.

If breaking code were not an issue, the best solution would be to 
make HANDLE a unique, opaque type (like a struct wrapping an 
intptr_t or void*) - which is exactly how it should be treated. 
It would need to support assignment/creation from "null" though.
