Wow, that's "something" ! :)
Few years ago in age of Kylix 3 Andreas Hausladen builded C bindings for Qt3 
via doxygen which created xml files and then small app builded bindings from 
that xml files - even virtual methods overriding was supported.
So if someone have enough doxygen knowledge it is possible to create automatic 
C bindings with some efforts.
