This is a working Hello World example without dependency on
Microsoft C Runtime Library, I couldn't find anything by
searching around the forums or search engines, so I'm posting it
here. Please provide improvements if you feel like something is
missing or incorrect.
**How to Compile:**
`dmd "./MessageBox_HelloWorld.d" "user32.lib"`
**Note:** This example can only be compiled with a 32 bit dmd
compiler that exists in `.\dmd2\windows\bin\dmd.exe`
**Observations:**
* This example will generate a 208kb MessageBox_HelloWorld.exe
binary
* This example is independent of MSVCR120.dll
* This example will open additional Command Prompt Window
alongside the MessageBox_HelloWorld.exe
**MessageBox_HelloWorld.d**
```
module MessageBox_HelloWorld;

import core.sys.windows.winuser : MessageBoxA, MB_OK;

MessageBoxA(null, "Hello, World!", "My Win32 App", MB_OK);
}
