h2xs -x

[Dirk Koopman]

Has anyone managed to get h2xs -x to produce anything on a modern gcc / 
linux combination? It seems to barf parsing the interstices of stdio.h 
etc and, BTW, with totally useless error messages.

I also notice that debian removed the package on 2008 on the grounds 
that "nobody used it" (and it produced this error then).
