Don't you just include it as one of the arguments, like all of the .d
files? I
don't know. I haven't had a need to link in static libs before, and I
usually do
the linking step myself with gcc so that I can get a static binary
(since -L-
static doesn't currently work with dmd).

Ok, so that works, but with a linker warning. However, that can't be used
with rdmd, becuase rdmd will interpret "theLib.lib" as the name of the
program to be run.
dmd just does a pass through:
-L<arg-to-pass-to-linker>
I have no clue what optlink's cryptic syntax is, but on Linux, it would be
something along the lines of:
-L-Llibdir -L-lmylib
To give you an idea. Now go find the command line syntax for optlink :)
Also, you can try dmd -v to see what link line it calls normally, I'm sure
it has some of those options in there.
