I am worried it will be too hard to find typedefs in complex cases where
the typedef name is embedded:
typedef void (*ClosePtr) (struct _archiveHandle * AH);

The only think of is to grab typedefs from the object file and then also
try to get them from the souce too and combine them and remove duplicates.
