Now if only GDC complied to the D ABI :-)

By the way, the ABI really should be expanded to encompass x86-64 and 
ideally exception handling as well.  As it is, the ABI really isn't 
sufficient to allow code built by one compiler to be linked to code 
built by another compiler, which is really the point of an ABI, isn't it?
