Does anybody know the syntax to declare a function pointer with the 
windows calling convention?

DMD suggests the type of such pointers is int(Windows *)() for example, 
but this does not work.

Try:

extern(Windows) int function() fPointer;

writefln(typeof(fPointer)) will hopefully output "int(Windows *)()"

I don't have a DMD handy to test it so this is a guess.

I use:

extern(Windows) alias int function() WinIntFunc;
WinIntFunc f;

It probably works the same as Regan's way..

not exactly the same (I think) as Regan's also effects the linkage of the 
variable.
