DirectX Library OMF Format

Optlink failed to find symbols when passing `-g` to dmd.  Note that the only
difference in the link command when passing `-g` is it adds the `/co` option to
OPTLINK (NOTE: not sure what this option means for OPTLINK).

To reproduce. clone the direct-x binding repository:

git clone https://github.com/evilrat666/directx-d

Create the following file:

--- issue.d
import directx.d2d1;

int main()
{
    //auto result = D2D1CreateDevice(null, null, null);
    ID2D1Factory direct2dFactory;
    auto options = D2D1_FACTORY_OPTIONS(D2D1_DEBUG_LEVEL_WARNING);
    auto result = D2D1CreateFactory(D2D1_FACTORY_TYPE_SINGLE_THREADED,
        &IID_ID2D1Factory, &options, cast(void**)&direct2dFactory);
    return 0;
}
---

Download the attached directx omf library (converted from the COFF library).

Compilation/Link should work with the following:

dmd -I=<path-to-directx-d-repo> d2d1.omf.lib issue.d

Example:

did -I=..\directx-d\src d2d1.omf.lib issue.d

Now perform the same compilation but add `-g`, and you should get the following
linker error:
