The way I (work around|hack) this is to run c2ada over the .h file and
then get only the functions I'm interested in bound properly in the
resulting .ad[bs].
OTOH this is very definately a hack (although it does mean you have
the start of a proper binding to whatever) and something that should have
been considered in the language design process. :(
