Well, there's always SWIG < http://www.swig.org/ >, which already provides a format for a binding hints file (if one doesn't like what SWIG comes up with as default bindings), and glue/stub code generation. Supported languages include Perl, Python, Tcl, Java, Eiffel, and even Guile. So maybe it would make sense to see if SWIG does what is desired before reinventing any wheels.
