Translating C header

With the second compiler, there won't be any need for us to do anything,
like C++ we could use C libraries seamlessly.
The only reason C++ is able to do that is because C++ (realistically,
even
if not *technically*) is a proper superset of C. D isn't.
Right, but more importantly it is ABI compatible which is what D also has,
this opens some doors.
For most C libraries if you exclude macros, you just fill structs, and
call functions.
