If want to create a .lib file, that's pretty easy. If you want to create a .dll,
I can't help you. Someone else probably can, but .dll's aren't my thing. :(

First compile your D files to produce .obj files:
dmd -c winnt.d ole2.d oleauto.d api.d windef.d commctrl.d -I..

Then use "lib" (http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/lib.html) to create a .lib file:
lib -c win32.lib winnt.obj ole2.obj oleauto.obj api.obj windef.obj commctrl.obj 

Finally, you can compile an .exe:
dmd myprogram.d win32.lib
