Well since you offered... ;) 

I tried out coffimplib, but it's not yeilding the results I need.  I compared
the linkdef generated .def files with coffimplib's and the missing part is
pretty clear:

linkdef:
EXPORTS
   _TCOD_console_flush 0 = TCOD_console_flush
   _TCOD_console_init_root 16 = TCOD_console_init_root

coffimplib:
EXPORTS
	_TCOD_console_flush = TCOD_console_flush
          _TCOD_console_init_root = TCOD_console_init_root

Those missing numbers (something to do with the size of the parameters, right?)
are needed and not being provided by the tool.  Thoughts?

You're talking about Doryen Library project, right?

My thought is that TCOD_console_flush is actually cdecl and must be
declared as extern(C), while you seem to declare it as extern(Windows)
which is stdcall.  What you get with linkdef is corrupted stack.  This
is why coffimplib is absolute best when you have the right COFF import
library: it allows to catch this sort of errors.
