Thanks.  It is actually only able to do that because the installer 
copies some of the windows header files from your compiler's 
installation to its own install location and then patches them to make 
them parsable.

I do not think this is possible through GCC-XML directly.  However, I'd 
be interested in knowing why you need this to generate wrappers.  I bet 
there is another solution such as setting up the generated wrapper code 
to detect these values at compile time when needed.
