Thanks for the suggestions. I wound back a bit and looked at the 3rd
party libraries I was using and what do you know, they were all dll's
with import libs. I don't know what compiler some were built with but
they all converted with the coffimplib tool. So I rebuilt all my stuff
with dmc and after a bit of faffing around with link errors I got the
whole thing to build with a D front end that just makes a top level call
to initialise everything. It correctly reported it couldn't open a usb
device so it looks like it made its way down through several libraries
to the hardware without choking. I might be on my way :-) .
