That is good, so. Now we have something concrete.

I have written an app that reads in GCCXML input and represents the various

My idea is to separate 3 stages:
1 - query the C++ for classes, functions and enums, and all Qt specific info 
(not sure if GCCXML can handle this part)
2 - select which of them will be wrapped with meta-data info, like hints. 
With this hints, everyone can make your own bindings, respecting every 
language features and limitations.
3 - Generate the bindings (this is specific for each language). It may also 
be the Smoke library.

It is written in C#, which seems to

Hehehe, don't be sad. This work intent is to be language free. That is the 
more important and noble goal. Keep people "tastes" aside.
