Why can't this be dealt with using an extern (C) wrapper function in the D code?

D function names are mangled based on the name of the module they're defined in. For the runtime code, it's easier to wrap extern C calls with D functions.

All it does is call the extern(C) rt_init.  It was my bad, if you are in D-land, it's definitely better to use Runtime.initialize, but from C, the best bet is rt_init.
