I have a tool that translate C header files to D modules[1]. The tool is 
designed to translate header files one at the time. The problem is that 
in some C libraries some kind of umbrella headers are used. They only 
serve to include other sub header files. Some of these libraries enforce 
this by the sub header files checking for a preprocessor macro defined 
by the umbrella header. If this macro is not defined they halt the 
complication with the #error directive.

I'm using libclang since the tool itself is written in D. D is ABI 
compatible with C.
