Running unittests in a D library

[Chris Molozian]

Actually after more digging it seems that unit testing libraries 
in D doesn't work.

It seems pretty bad that in 2012 with unit testing a huge part of 
the software development process and D describing itself as a 
language with unit testing built in, this bug report / feature 
request hasn't been addressed:

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4669

Is there any update on the status of this enhancement? Is there a 
recommended workaround to unit test a D library?

Cheers,

Chris
