There's already Martin's cnetworkmanager, and we'll likely try to start
getting something going using C a bit later this summer.  It's a very
often requested feature, and it's something NM should definitely have.
It makes a lot of sense to have both higher-level language bindings
(cnetworkmanager) and lower-level ones (C-based) so that people can pick
the right tool for the right job.  So yeah, there's progress on this
front.
