fromUtf8z results in undefined identifier ...

Ah, the joy of Sunday afternoon programming :)

As workaround I use :
alias bool function(char*, char*) CompFunc;
bool string_compare(char* a, char* b)
{
	return ( a[0 .. strlen(a)] == b[0 .. strlen(b)] );
	//return (fromStringz(a) == fromStringz(b));
}

Thanks Jarret, have a nice day
