If implemented at all, I think the ctypes implementation itself could do
that. I.e. create all the function objects, let the Python script 
declare the APIs, and then generate C code from those signatures.

The C code would then best be adjusted: you'd rather use the struct 
declarations from the header files instead of the one you learned from 
ctypes (which may be wrong, or processor-dependent, or 
version-dependent). So a manual adjustment of header files would be 
necessary afterwards.
