Yeah, it will also need import paths and such.

I imagine a command line forwarder is easy enough.

I'd also like for it to be available from inside D - passing 
structured macros in and getting things out. Though that wouldn't 
be strictly necessary since you can always ctfe construct a 
#define string and mixinC it (assuming they do even the basics of 
mixin C but ive made enough noise it is a prototype wip now)
