Unnamed (not anonymous) unions and structs not supported yet

[GoogleCodeExporter]

(issue was reported on StackOverflow.com : 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2503183/jnaerator-unnamed-union-missing-
in-structure)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Generate the following code :

typedef struct S {
  union {
    int var1;
    double var2;
  };
} S;

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect union to be given a name, then S and that union to be properly 
generated.

Instead : gives an empty S struct.
Solved if naming the union :

typedef struct S {
  union U {
    int var1;
    double var2;
  };
} S;

As pointed out on the StackOverflow page, the issue is not about anonymous 
unions/structs but about unnamed 
ones.

Unnamed structs and unions are not standard C, but JNAerator should 
nevertheless support them as GCC does :
