Yeah, I was following wx Trac for some time. :-)

Will it be usable for C libs as well?

It sounds very good.

Interesting...I'm really curious to try it out.

Thank you very much.

Do you envision that your generator could be used for something like Qt
as well? (Personally, I'm more inclined to wxWidgets due to its native
look, but D is really starving with stable & maintained GUI bindings.)
