Alright.. I've been having issues with getting windows DLL's to 
work with DMD, as in I can't make them and can't even compile 
without a bunch of errors.

So, I need help on that, as the dll part of the site ain't 
helping.

Also, any idea on how to convert some of the dll stuff on

aker/utility/core.d 
to be windows compatible, I was having weird issues with that 
also.

you are about this?

it is just "dmd -shared -ofmydll.dll files.d", the problem is 
that you may have to add DllMain. if this doesn't works for you 
then put a error or describe what exactly doesn't work.

Windows Dlls are fundamentally broken. The only thing that works at the 
moment are DLLs with a C-Interface (written in D). DLL support on 
Windows is nowhere near the shared library support on linux.
I tried pushing for a fix, but its currently not a priority. See 
http://wiki.dlang.org/DIP45
