Note that in the docs I linked it's `dmd hello.d -L+gtkd.lib` with a 
plus sign. I'm not sure if it's significant, but it's a difference.

Also, and this may be it, the link.exe that's distributed with dmd 
doesn't like forward slashes as path separators. You can try it with 
backslashes instead:

dmd test.d -LC:\gtkd\src\build\GtkD.lib

-L doesn't take a space, either. Putting a space there isn't even 
optional, it's wrong. The stuff after the space is not passed to the 
linker, it's interpreted by dmd.
