For each CamelCase header name passed to ``HEADER_NAMES``, a file of that name

For example, the generated header ``ClassA`` will include ``classa.h`` (or

``ClassA.h``, see ``ORIGINAL``).
If a CamelCaseName consists of multiple comma-separated files, e.g.
``ClassA,ClassB,ClassC``, then multiple camelcase header files will be
generated which are redirects to the first header file.
The file locations of these generated headers will be stored in
<camelcase_forwarding_headers_var>.
ORIGINAL specifies how the name of the original header is written: lowercased
or also camelcased. The default is LOWERCASE. Since 1.8.0.
