I don't know if anyone is already working on comedi, but I managed to
successfully create many bindings after reading this:
ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/docs-pdf/CinFreePascal.pdf

A good starting point for using translation tools is this:
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Creating_bindings_for_C_libraries

I've looked into the comedi headers using their SVN browser, and they
seemed pretty short and straightforward, so translation should go smoothly.

Cheers!
