And probably never will. D doesn't have a preprocessor so it's 
kind of hard to automate the process.

They don't.

Counter question: What's so bad about the D std library ?

I am trying to create bindings for existing C library so I was 
trying to use htod for that.

I see. I didn't quite understand your question correctly. I 
thought you were trying to port over the std c library.

Maybe you can give an example ?

Yeah, htod often requires preparing the files your trying to 
convert. Often removing macro's and the like. Its a manual 
process, and it can get dirty.

You could try DStep [1]. Although I'm not entirely sure if it works on 
Windows. It uses libclang, so if Clang can handle the header file it 
should work in DStep as well.
