Refactoring breaks the test suite, the documentation, the sample code provided in the distribution, and user code.

http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/dll.html

Dlls are hard enough for people to get right without upending their existing, working code. Any refactoring attempt must include support for existing code if at all possible, marked with "deprecated" as necessary, and documentation explaining how to upgrade the code.

Can you please revert these changes until all of the above can be taken care of?

Most of it was refactoring.  The problem is really that I don't have a working 
Windows environment to test with any more.  I'll see about rectifying that 
though.  It really is inexcusable that I keep checking in changes that I can't 
verify.

Sigh, there are more problems with 344. Now the dll test suite fails to compile:

It makes me very nervous that wholesale changes were made to the dll interface, 
and none of it was even checked to see if it compiled, and now the test suite 
for it is completely broken.

I just checked in a fix for that.

The following druntime checkin:

breaks the build:

src\core\dll_helper.d(372): Error: undefined identifier thread_detach
src\core\thread.d(1856): Error: undefined identifier obj

Sean, can you please fix?
