Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong here?

I've dropbox-ed the code if it's helpful.

 try non-shared libTest, dmd prefers single executable compilations.

Is that the only option? I know it's possible to link to external c 
libraries, and I'd like to learn how.

So I monkeyed around a little bit, and found out that if I change 
"extern (C)" to "extern (C++)", the library links correctly and the 
program runs.

That lead me to believe that if I added the "-cpp" option to htod.exe, 
it would generate extern(C++) functions. But I got a blank Test.d file 
doing it that way.

So, gcc created a libTest.so with a function in it, and dmd only finds 
the function with extern(C++) and not with extern(C).

Now I'm just confused, yet pleased something worked.

Because you compile .cpp file, gcc compiles it with g++ as C++ and mangles
functions accordingly. You can tell gcc to compile the file as C.
