Is it possible to call C++-Classes without a factory function?

No. It's not even possible in C++.
D can only call C++ classes via COM. This is not D's fault, the same 
thing is true of C++. For example, you cannot call a C++ class in a 
Borland C++ DLL from Microsoft C++. The only time it works at all is the 
special case where the executable and the DLL were both compiled with 
the same compiler. Utterly ridiculous.
