Implicite TLS in XP-DLLs has a workaround in druntime for a few

There must still be some bugs, I tried the COM thing not long ago
(I think it was October) and it worked so perfectly on Vista and
Win7 yet failed so miserably on XP. D exes are fine, but the dll
loaded into another program didn't work well at all.
Usually you should not create a lot of global variables, and if
I do, I mostly want them shared. But coming from C++ I often
tend to forget to add the modifier. I remember a few years ago,
almost every occurrence of TLS in phobos was converted to
shared or immutable...
Aye.
