But one thing in particular, that you are not allowed to do is
to use kernel32.dll (at least I was told). So you still have
to rewrite all the C-library functions (such as fopen(),
malloc() and so on) and anything that the D runtime or Phobos
uses from kernel32 or similar libraries; I gues the same
applies to ws2_32 and so on.
Not strictly true. Here's the subset of the Win32 API that can
be used in Metro apps:

Great! I was looking for such a list, thanks.
So since you have at least HeapAlloc and some other functions, it
looks like a doable task to just adjust the existing runtime.
Just many functions like CreateFile would need to be changed to
their allowed counterparts as it looks.
But the question is still if that snn.lib or what else is beeing
linked in can be adjusted or still needs to be replaced.
