Currently DStep will just ignore everything in the body of a 
preprocessor if statement where the condition is false, just like the 
regular compiler. For example, running DStep on a header file with the 
following content:

#ifdef _WIN32
char foo();
#else
int foo();
#endif

Will produce on non-Windows platforms:

extern (C):

int foo ();

So DStep works, just that will generate platform specific bindings.
