That is why Michael has been working on the "Context" code in Bonobo,
to reduce the ammount of APIs that need to be wrapped.  

Yesterday I was explaining that to Paolo Molnaro (which has joined
Helix Code to maintain Bonobo/Perl).  It meant `Paolo, now you have
less work to do'.  I also had this discussion with Michael last week,
when he proposed to me the Context idea.  

read bonobo/bonobo-context.c for more information.

`Context' are btw, `explored' in my helix-setup-tools paper, where two
examples are given using contexts.

I have actually dig up the mail from Michael in which he explains
contexts, and my reply said `just do a few, because we need to finish
other things right now'. 

Best wishes,
Miguel.
