digitalmars.D - WinMain in D?

i found the windows.d module and started messing around with some basic
windows stuff.  now i'd like to make a windows app.. but i need to be able
to have a WinMain function (which takes an HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, and
int).  however D only allows me to use () or (char[][]) for main's
parameters.

has anyone been able to do this?

You can have a look in the samples directory of your D instalation. There you
will see a sample of a window created using WinApi. To compile it you have to
add to the compiler the argument gdi32.lib (ass seen in all.sh in the same
directory)
Good luck
