Sharing gc-allocated or c-runtime-allocated memory, files, threads and other
objects between different D-DLLs and the D-executable can be desirable,
especially when working in a larger environment with dynamically loaded DLLs.

The current support for this is very limited, supplying a proxy for the GC, but
its implementation is incomplete, e.g. with respect to TLS memory and new
threads.

The following comments will show an implementation of a phobos.dll that can be
accessed by a number of DLLs and the executable to create objects than can be
shared freely. It also allows the usage of a single GC.
