This is really easy to do:

1. Download the SDK: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bb980924
2. Use coffimplib to generate OMF import libs for gdi32.lib, kernel32.lib and
its friends.
3. Distribute these with DMD.

The gdi32.lib distributed with DMD, for example, is severely outdated. It's
half the size of a modern gdi32 import library.

I absolutely agree they are WAY outdated! Why is DMD not coming with the newest
versions available?

To put it bluntly, what use is outdated libraries to any windows programmer??

The first thing one does is resort to the WindowsApi bindings project - which
should be an unnecessary step.
