Lastly, D DLLs will only work on Vista/Windows 7/later. They will not
work on XP. This is due to a long known bug with DLLs and thread local
storage in general on XP. Also, you'll have to use 32-bit C# currently,
as DMD isn't 64-bit compatible yet. (Walter is hard at work on a 64-bit
version of DMD, but it will be Linux only at first, with Windows
following sometime later)
XP TLS support with dynamically loaded DLLs is fixed for some time now
with a workaround implemented in druntime. Also, DLLs can be used in
multi-threading environments.
Yes, I pointed out in another thread that D loading D DLLs can work around
this issue, but the original post was about calling a D DLL from another
language, specifically C#, where the limitation in XP still exists. (Of
course, you might be able to port the work around to C#. Hmm...)

This DLLMain code is a bit outdated (is it D1?), the current proposed
version is here: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/dll.html
Thanks. It was D2, but it was forked a while ago. Given that the
recommended way of doing this might change in the future, a string mixin
in core.dll_helper might be appropriate.
