digitalmars.D - Walter: htod on github?

Walter,

Any chance we can get the source of htod? If found it a very useful 
little utility, although there are many issues with it.

VisualD also include a similar utility to convert header files to D, but 
it is more tuned to Windows header files. Perhaps we can combine the two 
into a new utility?

Lio.

I think htod is based on dmc so open sourcing it would be a 
problem.

Ah, right. I remember now :) HTOD is using the DMC frontend for C/H 
parsing and that's not open sourced. Got it.

I've been thinking about making it "source available".

What about keeping the DMC frontend code in a (static) library? Would 
that work for the time being?

There's already DStep, fully open source:

https://github.com/jacob-carlborg/dstep

Cross-platform, can convert C and Objective-C. Unfortunately I haven't 
got it to link on Windows, stupid Optlink. I'll guess I should give it 
another try.
