Daniel, adding the "extern (C) void assert_3std5boxer() { }" line below which
Burton shared with us many moons ago will also work (without the need for
-release switch) and you can add unittests as well.

# // daniel1.d - tested with WinXP SP1 D v0.154
# // Unittest: dmd daniel1.d -unittest
# // Compile : dmd daniel1.d
#
# private import std.boxer;
# private import std.stdio;
#
# // Burton Radons <burton-radons[at]smocky[dot]com>
# // This entry allows -unittest for testing, and/or no need 
# // for the -release switch
# extern (C) void assert_3std5boxer() { }
#
# int main()
# {
#     Box x = box(42);
#     writefln("The answer to life, the universe, "
#             "and everything is: %d", unbox!(int)(x));
#
#     return 0;
# }
#
# unittest
# {
#     Box x = box(42);
#     assert(42 == unbox!(int)(x));
#     writefln("unittest done.");	
# }

Output:
------------
C:\dmd>dmd daniel1.d
C:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe daniel1,,,user32+kernel32/noi;

C:\dmd>daniel1
The answer to life, the universe, and everything is: 42

C:\dmd>
