Yes. I have written a tool using libclang that translate C and 
Objective-C header files to D modules. This only translate the 
declarations and not the implementation.

It's written in D, but it's similar enough to C# to not be a problem to 
read it.

libclang has functions for comment AST introspection so it should be 
possible to keep the comments, or even translate them to C# comments.
