This isn't exactly what you are asking for, but if you use CVI to write
the C code and create function panels for them, then you can use a feature
in LV to import a CVI function panel and wrap it automatically with a VI.
This isn't available for normal .h files because they don't contain
as much information about data types and there are ambiguities.
