What's the problem in opensourcing htod?

[Andrej Mitrovic]

Is htod a part of the C++ DM toolkit? I don't think it is, I mean it's
only useful for the D language. Sooner or later Walter is either going
to open-source it or we'll be forced to reinvent the tool. It's
probably wouldn't be much work for a C-only header translator.
