This one still has problems.

---- Main.d:
import Mod;

void main() {
    foo();
}
---- Mod.d:
import Mod2;

extern (C) int printf(char*, ...);

void foo() {
    foo2();
}

static this() {
    printf("Running a static ctor for Mod"\n);
}
---- Mod2.d:
extern (C) int printf(char*, ...);

void foo2() {
}

static this() {
    printf("Running a static ctor for Mod2"\n);
}
----

Compiling these modules as:
dmd -c Main.d
dmd -lib Mod.d Mod2.d
dmd Main.obj Mod.lib
... and running Main.exe yields:
Running a static ctor for Mod
