wow, now it works. it's look funny without images though.

btw, i have freeimage installed, but the loader wants to find
"FreeImage_ConvertToRGB16" function in it, which it seems to not even
use. that's the joy of Derelict: it loads everything whether, it needs
it or not.

ah, and another thing: freeimage sux for GNU/Linux. it looks completely
alien and no sane GUI software requires it. i didn't looked at the
code, but i hope that image loading is well abstracted in DlangUI? if
it is, i can try to write a loaders for png and jpg (jpg? in GUI? holy
heavens, why?!).

it's better to check if the system has the corresponding libraries with
corresponding versions (imlib2 rocks, for example), but i suppose that
dub cannot into configure checks, am i right?
