 # If one or more filenames are given, output is written to corresponding
 # filenames in the local directory, translated to all uppercase, with
 # the extension replaced by ".py".
+# By passing one or more options of the form "-i regular_expression"
+# you can specify additional strings to be ignored.  This is useful
+# e.g. to ignore casts to u_long: simply specify "-i '(u_long)'".
 
 # XXX To do:
 # - turn trailing C comments into Python comments
 # - turn C string quotes into Python comments
 # - turn C Boolean operators "&& || !" into Python "and or not"
 # - what to do about #if(def)?
+# - what to do about #include?
 # - what to do about macros with parameters?
 # - reject definitions with semicolons in them
