A few other things that caught my eye:

â gperl_croak_gerror ignores its first argument (for historical reasons), so the 
convention is to simply pass in NULL.

â You have no tests.  libchamplain's API appears to be very well designed, so 
the wrappers are mostly trivial.  But still, writing good bindings "blindly", 
i.e. without tests, is error-prone.
