Okay my fall back is to generate C binding code using jison and a bit
of templated C generation if it is at all possible.

AFAICS it would be relatively easy to put together, and would be
useful for creating other C interfaces.

Types such as Windows HANDLES - HWND, etc and other types are the only
area I have not sussed how to deal with.
