Anyone,

Can D build binaries which are linkable from C?  In other words can I link a
bottom level D module/library etc. to a top level C program?

Mark.

It is necessary to initialise the D runtime (GC, etc.) from the C 
environment. Then it is necessary to use extern(C) convention in D. Then 
write headers. Gets more cumbersome than not.

For more information on initialising and shutting down the runtime, see 
manual chapter on using WinMain entry point in D...
