[Rock-dev] clang vs. typelib

[Janosch Machowinski]

So,
basically I would register a alias, per 'DeSugaring' step I do ?!
DeSugaring is the name in clang, for removing one layer
of typedefs..

We could also place references to TLB files in TLB files themself,
and generate a TLB File per header file. In this case we could stop
parsing anything, it there is already a TLB file for an included
header. This could lead to big speedups, as we don't reparse all the
headers over and over again.
