After checking multiple linker errors regarding a not included 
file, I've decided into further improving redub, this time, it 
includes an experimental linker error diagnostics for Windows 
MSVC.

The message:

```d
hipreme_engine.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol 
_D3hip3api12__ModuleInfoZ
C:\Users\Hipreme\AppData\Local\.dub\.redub\1AB9D53797DC3516\1AB9D53797DC3516\hipreme_engine.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 externo
  não resolvidos
Error: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual 
Studio\2022\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.44.35207\bin\HostX64\x64\link.exe failed
with status: 1120
```


Gets the additional message:
```d
Redub Help Message: Module hip.api is imported by:
         hip.view.load_scene 
(C:\Users\Hipreme\Documents\D\HipremeEngine\source\hip\view\load_scene.d)

```

Hope this helps everyone as much as this is helping me finding 
hidden imports! The good thing is that it works even if your 
program is not including fully qualified names.
