digitalmars.D.learn - Is there an easy way to convert a C header to a D module?

I'm needing to use a c/c++ library in a D program and I'm 
struggling with creating a binding as it seems like an enormous 
amount of regex modifications. Is there an existing program that 
can create most if not all of a binding for me?

Thanks

That does most of it, then you fix it up with some regex or 
whatever to finish the job.

Seems pretty good. Does it work on c++ stuff too?

Bother. Well, I'm sure it will still be useful though. Thanks for 
the heads up

(shameless plug) You can try my crappy generator[1] for C++

There is also dpp[2] which probably can convert C++ decls to D
