It's not completely done yet but I think
core.runtime.Runtime.loadLibrary will be the function used to
load libraries. See:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/druntime/pull/617
In the current implementation, just loading a library using the C
functions would indeed work, as the D runtime
registration/initialization happens in a C .ctor. The actual
implementation in druntime is a bit more complex, mainly to
handle thread synchronization.
