What kind of metadata you are looking for?  I can give you some sample
code/pointers on how to do a CFX (C++).  I did mine out of a sample from
MSDN (called cat.cpp or something like that).  Uses MFC and other crap, but
if you compile it in a single DLL you should be OK.  They do many things
metadata queries, and can be easily, but tediously extended.
