Mostly just brainstorming at this point.  I think we agree that Inline 
should provide some functionality to dump XS code.  In your use-case, I 
think it would be best to create an external tool to automate the 
module creation (hence the Module::Starter reference.)

It would definitely require Inline to transform from inline to xs code.  
But, creating MANIFEST, etc shouldn't be a task for anything in the 
Inline space.
