Thanks for the replies,
This issue really highlights one of D's weak points I think.
I've atleast got a round about solution almost working. :P
Really? I see it as one of D's strengths. It's much easier to
connect D with C than it is to connect other languages with C.
Essentially, you're just rewriting the C header in D and that's
it. It's as simple as it can get without the compiler being able
to directly parse C headers. In that case, the compiler would
either be needlessly complex or have a dependency on something
like libclang. This is much more appropriate for a tool, not the
compiler. Besides, it's quite easy to do it by hand.
