I seem to be one of the few people who actually use D under windows.
And I can confirm that linux support is far better then windows support.
Andreis statement at dconf about D's shared library support on windows 
almost beeing done was a quite a overstatement. Currently on windows 
only the most basic shared library feature is supported, which is 
exporting functions in a global scope (given they only use buildin types 
in their signature).

I plan on implementing propper shared library support as soon as I'm 
done with my master thesis. I already started in the past DIP 45. I 
already tried to get feedback / a greenlight, from someone who can pull 
decisions, on starting the implementation twice but it failed misearbly 
both times.

Kind Regards
