I haven't looked at your code yet, but wouldn't it be better to 
generate the wrapper using bgen?  That would make the wrapper easier to 
maintain and easier to integrate into MacPython/the python core.

The CodeGenerator scripts in PyObjC could also be coaxed into 
generating a functioning wrapper That is, without significant changes 
to the scripts. The prototypes are different enough to require changes 
to the "parser".
