optlink

Hey,

a while back I was messing around with some winapi calls in D, 
and I had occasion to want to link to crypt32.dll, but dmd 
doesn't seem to ship with a crypt32.lib.

I tried downloading the platform sdk or whatever the thing is 
called, but, um...

dmd ssl_client.d "C:\Program Files\Microsoft 
SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Lib\Crypt32.Lib"
OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 8.00.12
Copyright (C) Digital Mars 1989-2010  All rights reserved.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Lib\Crypt32.Lib
  Error 43: Not a Valid Library File


Actually, looking at those lib files a little closer, they appear 
to be mildly messed up ar archives.

Any ideas on what I should do here?
