Sean Kelly is out - he was Walter's bet to make it work.

he also
got busy with other stuff
The compiler is not shared-lib ready. At least not on windows.
It does not support exporting data symbols. E.g.
export uint g_myGlobal;
This is mostly a problem for "hidden" data symbols, like
vtables, module info objects, type info objects and other stuff
D relies on.
Druntime on windows does already handle everything else
pefectly (e.g. threads and TLS)

I see library load and unload functions, although the required
"dlsym" feature is absent. What's the status, does any of it
actually work?
