Would that be vala-gen-introspect ? That's a bit of an old tool. I'm not sure how well it fares, butmay be a 
good starting point for a hand written bindings.

If this is a named initializer then you want:
public Sector.megabyte (uint64 value);

An initializer of a struct is similar to a constructor of an object.

My working assumption would be the return value, Sector, has been converted to an outparameter. I've not 
looked in to the reasoning for that.
Hope that helps,
