Hmm, I guess this of quite general interest. The only
(pseudo-standard) way bindings are described right now that I know of
are the auto-generated .def files used by the C++ (gtkmm), Python
(pygtk) and Guile (guile-gobject) folks. I'd really like to know what
this standard is really about, too.

Python is executable pseudocode, Perl is executable line-noise.
