Hah, you got me.  Yeah, I'm toying with a wrapper for Doryen Library in D.  I'm trying to not talk too much about it, since I don't know if I'm skilled enough to write and implement it, nor dedicated enough to finish it. :p  We'll see.

All the methods were preprended by TCODLIB_API, which is a typedef to __declspec(dllexport) ( or __declspec(import) ) which I thought (according to the guide) translates as export extern(Windows)

I guess I'll try externing to C instead, and try to coffimp the library again.  Perhaps the "visual studio" library is a bad one to use, and I should try the "Mingw" .a file.
