How would I use a C function that's returning a struct? auto

I do have the required libs but I can't create my D obj file so
I can't really get there.
I know that there htod but, is there anyway I can avoid using
that?
I'm using GDC, and GCC on Win7
D can't import C header files. And I don't think such a feature
is planned right now.
You have to translate the C declarations to D, both struct and
function. You can do that either manually or using some tool.
If you go the manual route, there's a page on that:

For tools, if you're not happy with htod, maybe DStep works
better:
