Under the heading 'Extern Global C Variables', it's explained that you need to create an extra module that is not linked with, in order to avoid a multiple definition error.

But given a C header file:

struct Foo { };
struct Foo bar;

It's enought just to have a single module, like this:

struct Foo { }
extern extern (C) Foo bar;

The first 'extern' makes bar a pure declaration, and the definition in the C library will be used.  Tested with dmd 1.0 and 1.004.
