I've been inspired to have a go at making a C2D header converter. I know 
that's been done before, but this one's in D.
Turns out to be _much_ easier to do than it used to be, because now you 
can often change things like
#define abc 3 + 7 * def
#define foo "sfbsdd"
into
const abc = 3 + 7 * def;
const foo = "sfbsdd";
taking advantage of autotyping.

Also being able to write
extern(C) :

instead of extern(C) { ....}
is another huge help.
