I am interested whether anyone has created bindings for any of the MS
Windows API ?
Many thanks in advance,

This would be quite an undertaking for a generic binding. There is

node-ffi, but AFAIK that's not recommended for production use because
of the performance penalties.
Your best bet is to incorporate just the Windows API functions you
need for your binding/project.

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.

Depends on which APIs you want to interact with.
Many COM and .NET APIs can be dynamically bound to.

And example smaller scale implementation of the functions can be seen here, for bindings to the registry API: https://github.com/Benvie/node-Windows/blob/ffi-registry/lib/bindings-registry.js
