Perhaps someone more Windows savvy than I can figure this
mystery out. When creating windows through SDL via D, the
windows created -- when viewed with Windows Classic, Aero
Basic, or Luna (on XP) -- have minimal border padding, like so:

Now. I seem to dimly recall that this has something to do with
the window style -- but AFAIK that shouldn't change because
SDL's code doesn't change in this instance. So could OPTLINK
have some influence on such things? Aside from that it works
fine, so it's just an aesthetic matter -- and not a huge one as
it looks fine with full Aero.
I can't find the post that I'm thinking of, but I remember this
being discussed before. Essentially, it's something with Optlink
that you can disable that makes Windows think it should use
outdated styles.
