I have just created bindings for libxlsxwriter, an c library for creating excel files.

Used the htod tool to do most of the work, and only had to adjust some things - mainly because libxlsxwriter uses data structures written in macro's.

Right now I am making a dub package and I would like to aim for convenience for end-users (read: me).

Therefor I decided to include the compiled static library inside the package. I only use Linux 64-bit myself, but this is obviously limiting for other people.

The other option I had was to include the whole c code, depend on gcc or clang, and have dub (somehow) first build libxlsxwriter. But that seemed a bit too much...

Another option would be to require end-users to build libxlsxwriter themselves.

What do you guys recommend?
