I need to generate plain C99 .h files from a D module's

do this?
I know the compiler has C++ header generation, and there's
tons of tools which exist for importing C headers into D code.
I'm not aware of anything which goes the other direction.
Google wasn't much help either.
I also can't find anything... until someone else comes with a
better answer, maybe you can do this:
Use the ```-H``` compiler flag to generate ```.di``` files.
Remove all the ```extern(C)``` decls in the .di files.
Rename the file extension from ```.di``` to ```.h```
Technically, it should work. Hopefully someone else knows
better.
Well, that's disappointing. I suppose everyone just makes there
main file a D file when converting C projects so they don't have
this problem.
Eventually I'll have to write a script which takes .di files and
generates .h files, but doing it manually will have to work for
now.
