Vladimir, what benefits its give?
Ideally, druntime is supposed to have C bindings for all of the system libraries for each of the platforms that we support. What it has for the POSIX systems is pretty good, but the bindings for Windows have been seriously lacking. This is supposed to fix that. That way, when you need to use system calls, you don't need to figure out where you can find bindings for them or have to do them yourself. That will continue to be the case for 3rd party C libraries, but for the system stuff, we want their bindings in druntime.
