I think this is a good idea. However, I expect many users would want to 
fine-tune the exact mapping (use Python properties instead of set/get 
pairs, etc.), to make the resulting API more "Pythonic".

Thus, I think the ideal environment for this would be scripted, or 
otherwise allow users to provide the means to declare how the mapping 
should be done.

(Note: I'm right now attempting to bind CLang to Synopsis 
(http://synopsis.fresco.org), which I expect to provide such a 
scriptable layer for source-to-source mappings, among other use-cases.)
