Hey,

I just wanted to say thanks for the support!  If you'd like I can update the
patch for the current version (I haven't actually updated it in quite a while,
or even looked at it for that matter so I'm not sure if it still applies)

I'm also working on an alternative to vapigen based on gccxml that gives a lot
more freedom in what can be changed with metadata, but that is a long way from
being ready.
