There was high level Library wrapper by Martin Nowak ( 
https://github.com/MartinNowak/druntime/commit/f8f512edea2370759ab75703dceece5e069645be 
), but it seems it was not added to main dmd repository.
So you should use dlsym / GetProcAddress. Use 
core.demangle.mangle to get mangled names of D functions.

I also made some similar wrapper in my project 
https://bitbucket.org/FreeSlave/dido But it was not updated for a 
long time and now it's outdated (code uses dlopen and LoadLibrary 
which is wrong and should be changed to Runtime.loadLibrary. Same 
for dlclose and FreeLibrary)
