Is it possible to translate this API's C headers?

There is a project that I wish to use from D
(https://ultralig.ht).
It's Electron, but with forked WebKit and the samples are very,
very fast.
This is a great compromise between wanting to have a very custom
interface and not wanting to use the slow
Electron/Sciter/Awesomium/WebView.
I am having trouble porting the C headers though. Firstly, I
barely know C at all, especially not enough to do this. The
extent of my C knowledge is terminal TicTacToe game I made three
years ago.
I tried using all of the conversion tools under the "Interfacing
with C" page of the wiki, but I'm getting import errors. Probably
because the paths are all using "<>", expecting an include path
from the compiler. I tried to solve this by refractoring the
imports to use relative quoted paths.
But even when I fixed that, I kept hitting miscellaneous problems
with MSVC, LLVM, and every other dependency under the sun those
conversion tools needed. So I figured that Windows was just a
crappy ecosystem, and tried it on Linux. No easier.
So now I'm here, a C noob, really wanting to use Adam's great
project from the D language. The only barrier is my lack of
knowledge in C. And I definitely do not have the means to port
these headers by hand.
Could one of you give me pointers about how to go about this? I
have the dynamic link libraries, the static libraries, and the
header includes.
