digitalmars.D.learn - Converting libmemcache header to module

reply Morgan McDermott <morganmcdermott gmail.com> writes:
I'm working on porting the libmemcache header file from C to D, and 
everything went rather smoothly... except for one part.

The header file includes many other header files not included in the 
std.c package, so I'm wondering what the best method to approach this 
would be. In particular, it wants the following files:
"/usr/include/netdb.h"
"/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h"
"/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h"
"/usr/include/bits/wordsize.h"
"/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h"
"/usr/include/features.h"
"/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h"

I could go about and port all of these to D modules, but I'm not 
particularly fond of this option for obvious reasons :). Any suggestions?

Thanks for your time,

Its prerequisites make the setup not for the faint of heart.  But maybe I
could play like I'm upset with Gregor for that business over in D or
D.announce, about the closed source.  Then he'll just generate it for me.

P.S.  I have an interest in using memcached for dsource, and even though the
site is Python now, having libmemcached wrapped for D seems like it would be a
*good* thing.
