Tool to grab all `extern(C)` declarations in a D module and generate C header file based on it. Partially addresses https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9285 but is intended to be much more simple (no C++, no human-readable emphasis).

Main differences from version written by Adam some years ago:

- Uses DMD frontend as a library directly
- Has tests

Former is quite intentional decision though I do expect it to be controversial. Using json output requires parsing information that is already present in DMD FE in a strongly typed way - and the only benefit is that the tool becomes more decoupled from compiler. In my opinion, this functionality _should_ be part of compiler itself, similar to .di generation.

Sadly can't put it on code.dlang.org right now because there are no tagged versions of http://code.dlang.org/packages/dmd to depend on, thus have to resort to submodule.
