Generate command-line options for C compiler from used headers

Headers as Dependencies

HaD reads the #included headers from a bunch of C files and prints the corresponding compiler options. For instance, if #include <math.h> is used, option -lm is required, or if #include <pthread.h> is used, -pthread is required.

To do so, HaD relies on a database maintained by hand, as well as on pkg-config. It currently supports only GCC and Clang on Linux.

Contributions welcome!

You can help a lot by enriching files hadlib/*.cfg. This is actually the heart of the tool. All the rest is simple code to read and present this knowledge.
