If you search the main D list, you should be able to find several discussions on 
share libraries. But they aren't really supported yet. I don't know what the 
details are, but there are some issues (at it looks like you found some) which 
make them not quite work yet. Walter is currently working on the 64-bit port of 
dmd on Linux. I'm not sure whether he's going to work on the Windows 64-bit 
after that, or if he's working on the shared library issue next, but if he's 
working on the Windows 64-bit port next, he'll be working on the shared 
libraries right after that. So, it's in the queue and a high priority for Walter 
at this point, but it hasn't been done yet.
