I'm trying to use the OpenSSL bindings from Deimos, but whenever 
I try to use the PEM_write_X509 function (among others), OpenSSL 
gives a fatal error of "no OPENSSL_Applink", because in OpenSSL's 
ms/uplink.c, the function OPENSSL_Uplink calls GetProcAddress on 
the application with the string "OPENSSL_Applink".

So far I've tried

Writing a D version of applink.c: I can't get dmd to export my 
OPENSSL_Applink without a leading underscore.
and
Recompiling OpenSSL without -DOPENSSL_ENABLE_APPLINK: Converting 
libraries to OMF gives me a series of errors in dmd that give the 
impression that the functions from io.h or a similar file are not 
visible. I can't get any compile to work.

 From what I can tell, there are two possible solutions to my 
problem:

Export OPENSSL_Applink from my D program without a leading 
underscore.
or
Get a working compile of OpenSSL and then add an underscore in 
uplink.c before recompiling.

If anybody could help me with either of these (or suggest a third 
option) that would be fantastic.

For posterity:

I got a compile of OpenSSL to work by configuring with "shared 
mingw", building, using dumpobj to get a list of exports from the 
dlls and making .defs for them, building a lib with the "lib" 
tool, and then converting that to OMF with coffimplib.

There's definitely an easier way about this that I haven't 
found...
