http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/codegen.html says it can
be done. However, it requires MSVC 7.1 and I have not yet install it
since I already have MSVC (6,7,8) on my PC.

My header file is relatively small. The manual translation exercise
also allowed me to understand more details about ctypes.
