The Deimos project[1] provides a number of bindings to C libraries in a 
manner that requires compile-time linkage (using static libraries or 
import libraries as the case may be). Derelict[2] is a set of bindings 
to C libraries (including OpenGL) that loads the libraries at runtime 
(via LoadLibrary on Windows and dlopen elsewhere).
