Actually an even simpler way to do this (and in fact much nicer) would be:

        BonoboX
        private void
        fooBar (self,
                const CORBA_char *string,
                CORBA_Environment *ev)

So the self magic would be done automatically.  I'm thinking of doing this
in the next version since I already have another minor feature to add.  The
only issue here is that self is sort of a "macro" implemented in the parser,
but that's not such a huge issue though  I just have to use a different
macro for a BonoboX function, that's all.
