shared libs in D have been fully operational for over a year now 
with gdc and almost a year with ldc. You can make the 
druntime/phobos dll and all share it. Even on dmd, there's 
separate druntimes but they link some things together, enough to 
kinda work, but the ldc+gdc experience is more reliable (dmd 
botches typeinfo across the dll boundary, so you're best off 
using it COM style).

For the plugin model, probably best to just build with the ldc.
