I haven't had this problem with any other windows calls that I've used. As long 
as they've been in druntime, they've worked. Are you suggesting that that's the 
case because Phobos or druntime also happened to link aganst any of the other 
windows functions that I've used, and that in this case, they don't, so I have 
to link it explicitly?
