I have spent a fair amount of time thinking about a generic 'mtoh' converter.   
You would also want the appropriate amount of support so Make would generate  
(and precompile!) the headers whenever 'substantive' changes occurred.  The  
only difference was that I was thinking of something like:
/*@
stuff for .h file
@*/
Instead of '#pragma .h' as the indicator of code for the '.h' file.  Which is  
more robust and general?

I may even get as far as writing a man page, even though it will be a while  
before I can code anything.  I would like a copy of your code, Stefan, just in  
case.  It does seem like this is something that should be taken care of  
automatically, doesn't it?
