Can't get D calling C to build.

[Bob Cowdery]

 A bit more playing and I see that it's assumed that C code is compiled
with dmc and then the  D code can be compiled with dmd which will also
link in the obj left by dmc. It wasn't clear at all that to make things
work easily one needs to use both the C and D Digital Mars compilers.

Code::Blocks has led me a right old game by adding in switches the
compiler doesn't understand. Eventually got it configured to use the dmc
and dmd toolchains and managed to build and link in a C library. Some
progress at last.
