Message:

Replace autogen.py with something simpler. (#30)

Instead of generating headers for certain structures, the headers are written manually and we automate checking correctness instead. Checking is performed by generating a C source with a bunch of static asserts, using a simple awk script. This is then treated as a normal source file.

The primary motivation for this change is to reduce the complexity of the build process. Also, the .ag files we used previously are more difficult to understand than regular C code, and at least one IDE (GNOME Builder) completely refuses to open them.
