Features

Many thinsg are hard coded and not fully usable yet. I made some advanced featurs, that were needed for my use case. (like prefix folding, so that gcc prefixes get recognized by clang). If you need a feature, feel free to make an Issue or PR.

I used this to convert the c_cpp_properties.json file, that was created by platformio (and arduino toolchain). So if you provide --cross it also detectes the non standard inlcude paths and adds them. Most of this only works for gcc atm.
