So, some variables are still showing up as {} ;/ I haven't 
investigated enough.

Best I can tell so far is that the ones that are not working are 
gtk objects that are defined in gtk c libs. They exist in gtkD 
but I see a lot of "bgthread-2.0-0.dll'. Module was built without 
symbols."

etc. I'm not sure if that the reason or not. But structs I have 
defined in my modules seem to be showing up fine.
