Hi Everyone,

I finally got my compilation+linking to work using VisualD. In 
the event others might find my results useful, here are my notes:

1) It turns out that when using VisualD, the 
safest/guaranteed-way-to-make-things-visible-to-DMD is to load 
everything (as in anything one imports-from, or references with 
the linker) into the 'solution' using the Add > Existing Items 
option found by right-clicking the solution's name in  'Solution 
Explorer'.
2) So what I ended up having as additional items alongside 
'main.d' : libsodium.lib, libzmq-v110_xp_mt-4_0_4.lib, 
zeromq.lib, zmqd.d, and zmqd.lib. There is certainly some 
duplication of functions in this list, but VisualD wasn't happy 
until I had all of these items added.
3) Finally, prior to adding the 'lib' files, I also had to 
(download and) use the 'coffimpllib' utility on ALL the lib files.

My thanks to the author of zmqd for his quick response and 
encouragement.
