It's intentionally not generic because I'll intend to translate only
stuff which needs translation and not pipe everything through the
script.  One can try to move these bits (i.e. the @structs array) to
some configuration file, I'm not sure that is worth the trouble though.

I can fit it into the xen/include/public subtree so the generated header
files are available to everyone and not just private to libxc if that is
the way we'll plan to go.

cheers,

  Gerd
