   A couple of years ago I wrote a program to produce Ada from Windows
tlb files.  Not only was the resulting code ugly, it was nearly unusable
with extensive documentation (which was not available) of what all those
function and their parameters were about.  That's part of why I don't
think a thin binding generator is very useful.
