That would certainly be better than the current approach, since
presumably it would cover not only Windows but the other
conditionally-compiled stuff that Bruce chooses not to compile on
his own machine.
Note though that the existing find_typedef script only works on (some
variants of) Linux and BSD. Porting it to a wider set of platforms
might be pretty painful.
I still wish we could build the list directly from the source code,
but I have no suggestions for tools that would do it.
