That is unfortunate. Then I will have no choice to implemented propper 
DLL support in the reference compiler ;-)

In case you ever try to get it working within ldc I strongly recommend 
that you ignore the "export" protection level, as it is horribly broken 
in may ways (see http://wiki.dlang.org/DIP45). Or wait until I'm done 
implementing DIP45 and its actually accepted into the master branch of dmd.
