Since I made some pretty negative experiences trying to get linking DLL

its disadvantages, like not being able to link the libraries in question
statically on other operating systems.
Therefore, I'd like to know if the situation got better in the meantime,
i.e. whether there is a OMF DLL import library tool available by now
that Just Works, in the sense that you can just tell anybody who wants
to build your project on Windows to use it without feeling guilty?
Thanks,

I recently had to replace kernel32.lib that is distributed with DMD.
implib didn't work very well, but by downloading the Win SDK and using
coffimplib it worked.
If using implib, remeber the /system switch.
I don't think coffimplib or implib Just Works for all cases, although I
would hope it does.
