+* can use internally either ctypes or a C extension module

+
+Next steps
+----------
+
+the verify() step, which should handle:
+ * completing "...;" structs
+ * checking the other structs, and the arguments to functions, using the real C compiler
+ * simple "#define FOO value" macros
+ * macros of the kind "#define funcname otherfuncname"
+ * more complicated macros "#define foo(a, b, c) ..."
+ * checking and correcting the value of the enum {} declarations
+ * probably also fixing the array lengths, e.g. declared as a field "int foo[...];"
+
+generating C extensions:
+ * this is needed anyway to call macros
+ * faster, libffi-free way to call C code
+ * partial blockers: callbacks (probably still use libffi)
