Recently translated miniz (a zlib replacement) from C to D and
Dennis' ctod didn't make it through the unbelievable macros, and
it was a drag to expand the macros by hand.
I will very probably use ImportC when it can find the
preprocessor on Windows, which has been a blocker here. So many
codebases have been translated from C to D it can be indeed
valuable. Moreover ImportC is also a fast C compiler so it can
eventually help build times of D projects by rewriting in C :)
