yes, essentially it is adapting the Ruby headers for D, making the C
symbols/constants accessable to D.

Like I said, it's kind of low level.  There were C parsers to do that
translation automatically, but weren't very good at it (at least when
I did my wrapper).

A better way would be to build something along the lines of:

or respectively the ruby cocoa stuff.

Have a nice day,
