Thanks,

One thought that just occurred to me would be to require that D dynamic
libraries contain a main entry point, like DllMain on Windows. This seems
like the only real/reliable option.
The coder would have to explicitly give dmd a module in which to place the
constructor/destructor code for images, the same way that dmd adds a
C-main in the file where D-main is found. Enforcing this in the future
would be a breaking change, but not a dangerous one. It would be a simple
link-time error which was easy to fix.
Also, requiring all D binaries to have some kind of entry point would
alleviate the need to ever call Runtime.initialize() explicitly.
