Normally GtkD searches for the dll in the default locations ( See Also: 
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682586(VS.85).aspx ), witch 
includes any directory listed in the PATH environment variable.

The GTK_BASEPATH environment variable can be used to override this, when 
set GtkD searches for the dlls in that directory, and only that directory.

So GTK_BASEPATH doesn't need to be set but when is it set, it does need 
to point to the correct location, some old Gtk+ 2.x installers used to 
set the GTK_BASEPATH variable.
