It would be most useful if the C bindings contained the various data types.
Creating ones own bindings would be easier that way and way more portable in
many cases. E.g. automatic differentiating between 32 bit and 64 bit Unix,
windows NT, etc.

At one time I was planning a C program which would generate automagically a
socket binding. However I found it impractical. I suppose it would be practical
to create a C program which automagically generates definitions for various C
data types. I am not thinking about automatically generating records, but their
individual components.

Just in case anybody asks; If I do it, it will be free as in gratis and I will
do it in my own time.

Greetings,
