[Haskell-beginners] parse C header files and transformation

[Ted Feng]

I have been looking at module Language.C(http://trac.sivity.net/language_c),
a complete C99 parser and pretty printer. It has  some similar
examples in darcs
repo (darcs get http://code.haskell.org/language-c), like ComputeSize.hs,
but haven't figured out a way.
