I've looked up the windows version helper functions

The problem is that these functions are not defined in DMD's
user32.lib. I could use the operating system's user32.lib but it is in
COFF format, so I would have to convert my D object files to COFF and
then compile using MSVC or GNU GCC for windows (or I could try
converting the OS user32.lib to OMF). Or, I could add the functions to
DMD's user32.lib but as far as I know this is a private binary managed
by Digital Mars that I can't contribute to? Am I wrong? Does anyone
else have a solution or an idea on this?
Note: I've wanted to use other windows function in the past that were
missing from DMD's user32.lib file. A solution to solve this for
multiple functions would be ideal, thanks.
You can either:
1. Convert an up to date user32.lib to OMF
2. Create your own user32.lib from the DLL
3. Compile using the COFF format and use the Visual Studio runtime
instead. This has been recently added (I'm not sure if it's released
yet) and requires using a flag
