Pyrex can't parse .h files, but it still needs to know about their content to
generate the right access code in C.

Just consider the .h files to be for the C compiler, while .pxd files are for
Pyrex. Note that you only need to specify the parts of the .h files in your
.pxd files that you actually use in your Pyrex code. The C compiler will have
the full definitions available.
