I wound back a bit and looked at the 3rd party libraries I was using and what do you know, they were all dll's with import libs. I don't know what compiler some were built with but they all converted with the coffimplib tool. So I rebuilt all my stuff with dmc and after a bit of faffing around with link errors I got the whole thing to build with a D front end that just makes a top level call to initialise everything. It correctly reported it couldn't open a usb device so it looks like it made its way down through several libraries to the hardware without choking. I might be on my way :-) .
