lib.rs seems hand written, why bindgen was not used in the first place? #160

This crate doesn't pre-date bindgen, but bindgen was in its very early days when this crate was created. Also, the original purpose of this crate was to support the creation of my own C bindings generator (which never materialized).

Using bindgen would be a pretty big change for little benefit since adding support for new versions of libclang only needs to happen every 6 months and usually doesn't take much effort.
