Looked into it and there are a couple of problems. The tools compile headers 
using gcc and the maintainers of the service currently manage configs by hand. 

Configs consts of the list of libs to check, header files and compile flags.

The list of headers(including dependencies) is something that usually can be 
automatically generated, but some of the configs also specify gcc flags to 
make it build :(

I have added this to the todo, but I can't promise it will be perfect.
