I find it quite surprising that it doesn't like wchar_t, but depending on
what version of C it's converting to, maybe wchar_t isn't officially part of
it. I don't know. I would have expected it to work.

However, regardless of this specific issue, htod hasn't been updated in
quite a while, and if you really want to be automatically generating C
bindings, I'd suggest that you look at dstep, which uses clang:
