It seems that D function pointers always have the D calling
convention. Try:

    import c.stdio;

    extern(Windows) void (*func)(int, int, int);

    extern(Windows) void foo(int a, int b, int c)
    {
     printf("%d %d %d\n", a, b, c);
    }

    int main()
    {
     func = &foo;
     (*func)(1, 2, 3);
     return 0;
    }

Pointers to stdcall functions are needed, however, for LoadLibrary/
GetProcAddress way to use DLLs. They're also used in TinyPTC.

BTW it took me about 5 hours (!) to figure this out. I just couldn't
get why the same code works in C but fails in D. Stack dumps,
printfs all around the code... till I finally disassembled both OBJs
and looked at the code there =)
