The --man flag to open a man page in the browser doesn't work at all.

You can open a url in the default browser with this magic code:

import std.c.windows.windows;
extern(Windows) {
  HINSTANCE ShellExecuteW(HWND,const LPWSTR, const LPWSTR, const
LPWSTR, const LPWSTR,INT);
}

void main()
{
   HINSTANCE hr = ShellExecuteW(null, "open"w.ptr,
"http://www.digitalmars.com/d"w.ptr, null, null, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

}

Info about the hr return value can be found here for adding more info on
failure:
