Issue with WIKI example Win32_DLLs_in_D

[andre via Digitalmars-d-learn]

I think there is a bigger issue with the mentioned example.
The command cannot work:
dmd test mydll.lib -g

test.d has an import statement to mydll. mydll has to be included 
in the command. But as mydll not only contains the exported dll 
functions but also DllMain, it cannot be compiled together with 
test which contains the main entry point.

Maybe the example can be corrected.

Kind regards
André
