This is now in "src/tools/apinames.c". It's a small program I wrote this
weekend that takes a list of header files as input and extracts the
FT_EXPORT(..) function names, then dumps a sorted list.

it also supports the generation of Windows .DEF files, and I'm currently
working on Watcom linker directive files too.

I might change it to support a list of directory names as well, but
this is a tad more difficult since I'm going to need platform-specific
stuff to do that (ain't the std C library wonderful shit ;-)

I've added it to the Jamfiles, will look for the Make-based build system
in the following days. Everything's very experimental at the moment.

Will do too
