The wrapper around main in the executable should work just as any DLLs' DllMain, i.e. it should register/unregister its own data segments with the GC and run its shared and TLS module constructors/decoontructors. Everything else should be handled by the druntime DLL.
Yes, I also considered that option. The problem with that is, that druntime deinit joins alls threads before running the shared module dtors. If the main executable behaves exactly like the dlls do this joining of threads would be lost and different from the behavior of a fully statical linked executable.
