I can't use my build script for the DWindowsProject to generate headers because
it's multithreaded and HTOD works by outputting any converted .h header file to
the *current directory*, e.g.:

> htod foo\bar.h

This puts the bar.d file to the *current directory*. I can't just move this
newly generated .d header around because my builder is multithreaded and what
ends up happening is multiple translated header files with the same name get
overwritten with each other. I need -od or -of for HTOD, just like we have in
DMD.

I can't use an explicit name because:

> htod foo\bar.h foo\bar.d

Here's what bar.d has in its contents:
/* Converted to D from foo\bar.h by htod */
module foo\bar;

That won't compile.
