Now, I'm confused why you are linking with the DMC version of these 
libs?  You should only be linking with the "tango-win32-dmd.lib" (which 
should be automatic when using Tango) and the import libs provided with 
dwt.

I tested this and a clarification is in order.

Implibs should be extracted to a directory of your choice.  From there 
all that should be necessary is to add

-S<path to dwt-import-win32-import-libs>

to your dsss commandline.   The dmc library should not factor into this 
since the only /other/ win32 library that should exist is the tango one 
(which, once again, is automatically imported).

I think the instructions are clear about the -S switch being needed. 
The only addition I can think of is pointing out that you should not be 
using the dmc libraries?
