It's not that bad. Phobos can be built by specifying all the files on

That's the essential trade-off we have to make.
Either we come up with a clumsy way to list all DLL modules during
compilation (separate compilation) or we add some compiler logic to
auto-import exported data symbols. In the latter case compiled object
files can be used for a DLL AND a static library.
We found the second approach to be more attractive.
The only issue is that most of the time one wants to strip exports when
using objects for a static library.
