You're completely right. It seems I copy+pasted from the wrong 
source file by mistake.

My DLLMain (not WinMain) is as follows:

-------------------------------------------------------------------

extern (Windows) BOOL DllMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, ULONG 
ulReason, LPVOID pvReserved) {
	// Main DLL switch
	switch (ulReason) {
		case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
			g_hInst = hInstance;
			dll_process_attach( hInstance, true );
			break;
		case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
			dll_process_detach( hInstance, true );
			break;
		case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
			dll_thread_attach( true, true );
			break;
		case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
			dll_thread_detach( true, true );
			break;
		default:
			break;
	}
	return true;
}

-------------------------------------------------------------------

With regards to digitalmars.D.learn - I had considered posting 
there, but considering this isn't really a question about 
learning D, but rather about getting an existing D project to 
build, I decided against it. If that is however the preferred 
location for such a question, I will post there next time as you 
suggested. :)
