Just a tip for everybody, but Under Linux, you can do a lot with the Linker commands you know those -L ones, besides being able to link with shared, you can also specify where the ELF binary will look to find your D shared library, by using -L-r which embeds a search path in your ELF binary, handy for updateable libraries, or a plugin system. I have a complete example somewhere on my laptop if anyone is interested. This is a native feature of ld so it should work almost anywhere.

For a plugin system, wouldn't you use dlopen and link to dl?

Also, you might as well use LD_LIBRARY_PATH and rpath-stripped libs/bins instead which seems like the cleaner solution to me.
