I'm writing a small application in D that requires several windows api calls. To
access these functions I need to define variables with data types defined in c
header files. So far I've only been able to do this implicitly, using methods
like typeof(), or using alternative data types. When I try writing something
like 

sockaddr_ variable name;

I get an error message during compilation saying sockaddr_ is an undeclared
identifyer.

Many Win32 API declarations can be found in std.c.windows.windows, 
std.c.windows.winsock, and std.c.windows.com. You can also use 
std.socket, which abstracts away the platform specific socket stuff. Any 
declarations you need that aren't already declared in one of those 
modules you can declare yourself. Use the std.c.windows.* modules as 
examples.
