The "clone" is just an instantiation of the Binding template in the from 
the same github-project. The important thing is the total structure that 
is forcing hiding of the generated C-binding and it also makes it 
trivial to regenerate the low-level stuff when the header-files changes 
whats in the pipe as well is to semiautomatic generate the exported 
interfaces and implementations, but the initial attempts are to crude to 
put in the public they are just hacks so far.

I am happy to to contribute but since the original project in my opinion 
needed to much rework to start a discussion. I just instantiated my 
template for C-bindings, and completed the .c and .sed files.

And please see my project as an input with ideas on how I do believe 
bindings to larger C/C++ libraries shall be done and not as a new clone 
since i don't intend to do anything more with it that provide a 
structure for a binding project.

/Regards
