How to convert these constructs to D?

[Rémy Mouëza]

For the two first ones, I would use an alias:
     alias GetCurrentThreadId pthread_self;
     alias void *  pthread_handler_t;

The third one is a function pointer alias:
     alias void * function (void *) pthread_handler;

For the last one, I am not sure, being rusty with the C preprocessor 
rules. I would use a template function:
     import core.stdc.config : c_long;

     void set_timespec_nsec (T, U) (ref T abstime, U nsec) {
        GetSystemTimeAsFileTime (& abstime.tv.ft);
        abstime.tv.i64 += cast (long) (nsec) / 100;
        abstime.max_timeout_msec = cast (c_long) (nsec /1000000);
     }
Though, with that last one, you lost the ability to get it inlined (but 
there is still the -inline computer switch if performance is a real issue).
As for the type mapping, it seems that:
  - __int64 in C corresponds to long in D
  - long in C corresponds to c_long defined in core.stdc.config.

Don't hesitate to double check all this, I may have written something wrong.
