C parsing fun

[Károly Kiripolszky]

Thx for responding, Szabolcs! I've already tried that, but couldn't
manage to get it to work. The source I tried to parse is a huge MSVC
7.1 solution containing about 38 projects, and I believe the code is
so complex that it has too many different dependencies and GCC just
can't handle them. Btw I'm not deeply familiar with C++ compilers, so
maybe it was because of compiler misconfiguration, but I really don't
know...
