[C2hs] Problems with c2hs, including `__attribute__' symbol in _mingw.h

[Vivian McPhail]

Hi, FYI.

I tried putting the arguments in extra quotes, as suggested, however, many
header files include _mingw.h which seems to redefine __attribute__.

My solution (very ugly) was to hack the _mingw.h file to permanently
redefine:

#define __attribute__(x)

So I need to remember to fix this before I compile anything.

Apart from that c2hs seems to be working, now I just need to learn how to
use it properly.

Thanks,

Vivian
