Just to clarify, so as to prevent confusion by someone that
randomly stumbles across this post, you do not need htod,
dstep, or any other tool to call C libraries from D. dstep
generates bindings to C libraries for you.
You can create the bindings yourself in your D source files,
and if you only want to call a couple of functions from a
particular C library, that's the most convenient.

The wording of the question implies that one of these tools is
required to call into C libraries, which is not correct.
https://wiki.dlang.org/D_binding_for_C is also helpful
they should be put together.
