I'm currently working on a very simply DLL library, which I'm compiling against
tango by way of the build utility (bud).  I've got a symbol I'm exporting via a
definition file, but whenever I try to compile the app, bud deletes it and does
not export the symbol.  What am I doing wrong?

command line for reference: bud main.d main.def kernel32.lib

Sorry, I should added that bud deletes my definition file only when I run it
with the -clean directive

I think, rather than use a .def file, you should use the "export " keyword 
like this

export int fn(){...}

but then I have never created a DLL.

The problem is that it has the same name as the target exe. Try renaming
it.

  bud main.d export.def kernel32.lib
