Yeah, the build will create libraries in the "lib" folder. You can build 
the snippets with "rdmd build base swt swtsnippets". A hello world would 
look something like this:

module main;

import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;

void main ()
{
     auto display = new Display;

     scope (exit)
         display.dispose;

     auto shell = new Shell;

     shell.setText = "asd";

     shell.open;

     while (!shell.isDisposed)
         if (!display.readAndDispatch)
             display.sleep;
}

dmd main.d -Iorg.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86/src -Ibase/src -J 
org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86/res <libraries>

Link with these libraries:

Located in org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86/lib.

I'm not really familiar with building on Windows, it was a while ago. 
You can also just build your application from source.
