Ok, I've committed ArchiveLibrary.d and ArchiveLoader.d into ddl/ar

They work for my ELF loaders, and a simple test is printing all the symbols from libphobos.a

To test if it works for a COFF-library, add ArchiveLoader to the registry.

The COFF-library loader, has a section for the case where it is an import library/module. I've removed this, as I believe this possibly should be put into a COFFImportModule, although the resulting data might fit best into the archive (I don't really know, the COFF-loader don't seem to have a complete implementation). And when I say removed, I mean it is not in the ArchiveLibrary implementation, I haven't touched the coff directory.

I've also committed a minor change to ExportSymbol, adding

<code>
static const ExportSymbol NONE;
</code>

If you want to return an empty symbol somewhere, just do
<code>
return ExportSymbol.NONE;
</code>

And elsewhere you can do the

<code>
if (getExportSymbol("foo") == ExportSymbol.NONE) {
assert(0);
}
</code>

I haven't actually tested this apart from the fact that it compiles, but I've used it in C++, so hopefully it works the same Spank me if you find it silly, or not to work as intended.

That's fantastic Lars. I like your implementation but there's just one catch: the references to std.stream. No worries though, we can refactor after the ELF side of things is 100?.

Yes, I'm aware of this, but see my last post in the ELF Handler status thread.
