dmd under windows has a "header generation" feature that will make D's
replacement to a .h file. Further more it shares the backend ()and thus
the frontend/backend interface with dmc (Walter's c/c++ compiler). I'm
wondering, where is the "header generation" going on? Is it close enough
to the front/back interface that the C compiler could be stacked on top
of it? This would allow automatic generation of headers from .c or .h files.
