     Incidental to the issues I've encountered, I should mention 
that the second ImportC example
     in Quick Examples, Section 41.1, does not compile with either 
the current release of dmd or the release candidate, due to the 
conflict between the module and function names:

     (dmd-2.101.0-rc.1)dca at giovanni:/tmp$ dmd demo.d square.c
     demo.d(6): Error: function expected before `()`, not `module 
square` of type `void`

Changing the D code to use the fully qualified function name

     import std.stdio;
     import square;
     void main()
     {
         int i = 7;
         writefln("The square of %s is %s", i, square.square(i));
     }

fixes it. I will file a bugzilla report.
