I link the static library. It passed to linker as
```
/DEFAULTLIB:"C:\Users\Alexander\AppData\Local\dub\cache\windows-d\~master\+windows\build\library-debug-_NZe8fN0M5GyMbh5vcPwPA\windows.lib"
```
This lib added as dependency in dub.json
```
"dependencies": {
   "argsd": "~>1.2.0",
   "vibe-d": "~>0.9",
   "prometheus:vibe": "~>0.2.1",
   "windows-d:windows": {
     "path": "../windows-d"
   }
}
```
