Source code does not depend on an import path, that is an 
environment issue. Thus you would not specify import paths in 
source files.

     module bob;
     extern(C) void fishingBob();

This function has no definition, code importing bob is not 
getting fishingBob.

     module joe;
     void runningJoe() { ... }

The code importing joe does get runningJoe. So while I think this 
change makes sense:

     module bob;
     pragma(lib, "bob.lib");
     extern(C) void fishingBob();

This one does not:

     module joe;
     pragma(lib, "joe.lib");
     void runningJoe() { ... }

Or

     import tango.Text;
     pragma(lib, "tango.lib"); ...
