A few months ago, I asked if anyone had an example of a Windows service
written in D.  Not finding one, I wrote one -- although there was one
outstanding issue I wanted to resolve before making it public.

Looking at this again, D's tools changes seem to have broken the
compilation.  Before I make anyone wade through my code, does an error like
the following look familiar to anyone ?

I'm using the Windows API library (source actually) on 
dsource.org. See link on the github page. I found it difficult to 
find a complete solution to the problem, so I'm going to cross 
post in a few places to make it easier to find for others seeking 
an answer to the same question.
