This still won't solve the problem of replacing {filename} with
HEADERFILE_H. But maybe we could add another wildcard like {FILENAME}
which will replace the filename with an uppercase variant.

Maybe we don't need an additional flag at all
when we extend the existing code in replace_header_filename()
(document.c) to work on the whole file, not only the first three lines.

But I'd still like to have all this done in a plugin in some way.
Either a new one or by extending the classbuilder plugin to be more
flexible.

Enrico
