The dsource bindings project have many bindings you can look at for 
examples: http://dsource.org/projects/bindings
The win32 binding has some instructions on translating: 
http://dsource.org/projects/bindings/wiki/WindowsApi/Instructions
dpl also has some instructions: 
http://www.d-programming-language.org/windows.html
And some more: http://www.d-programming-language.org/htomodule.html

I don't think htod is designed as a one-stop for converting header 
files. You'll probably have to manually change the file it spits out for 
all but the simplest cases.
