Hi Boud,

I've been busy moving from Berlin back to Dublin, which I just did last 
weekend. Things were blocked on me for some months.

I've just now pushed the first iteration of the bindings to ECM and a use 
of 
the generator to KItemModels.

Next steps are 

1) Figure out any issues with those regarding CI, packaging etc.
2) Add bindings for other simple libraries
3) Extend the features of the binding generator
4) Add bindings for other libraries which need advanced features
5) GOTO step 3

There are already features which we worked on some months ago which I held 
back from the generator for now, so that there is something easy to debug 
for step 1.

I haven't had a look yet. Hopefully the generator will be usable for those 
kinds of things.

Thanks,

Steve.
