I am using this process to update the ODBC bindings in 
etc.c.odbc, however, I currently have two active bugs against 
ImportC because when I try to generate a DI binding from an H 
file that has an tagged enum in it I get a segfault. But if you 
comment out the offending bits it actually works pretty much as 
you'd expect.
