Perhaps in the meantime Jay could use a snippet and insert it after saving
the file.
e.g.defining in section [C] in your snippets.conf
hguard=#ifndef HAVE_{filename}\n#define HAVE_{filename}\n\n#endif

This still requires editing the result as it will contain a dot (.h) which
isn't
allowed in identifiers but it is part way there.  Perhaps adding an extra
substitute
thats equivalent of %e in the make commands would be an easy fix?
