As a workaround you can try

```d
NOTIFYICONDATAW nid = void; // This causes error LNK1377
```

which hopefully will supress the need for the symbol 
'_D7windows5win322ui5shell15NOTIFYICONDATAW6__initZ' (that is the 
default init stored in the static data).

Not granteed to work tho. BTW if that works take care to manually 
initialze the member, e.g a little shot of `memset`.
