I've done git svn clone -s http://svn.dsource.org/projects/bindings
Now I have everything that the dsource WinAPI bindings need (sources, libs,
defs, ...)
I'll fork off Druntime, replace the WinAPI and send a pull request. This
won't take too long. I just need clarification on a few issues:

1. There is a number of version flags that are expected to be specified to
the compiler, which specifies the Windows version, Internet Explorer
version, winsock version and a bunch of other stuff. I suppose these will
go into the sc.ini under Windows, because those won't change too often and
are equivalent to linking with phobos (not necessary, but provided as a
default).

2. There are some static libraries, which are pragma(lib, ...) -ed inside
those modules, so those libraries will have to be included to the DMD
distribution.

3. They include MinGW copyright and header comments, which I don't know if
can be submitted to druntime as is and if they can be removed either.

4. They contain a special WindowsUnitTests version, which could probably be
replaced with a regular unittests or removed from the DMD distribution.

5. They look dangerously awesome! :-D

Walter, Andrei and all others who maintain Druntime: I need you to tell me
if these five conditions are OK and if I should change something before
sending a pull request.
