Actually, I've started doing something like that --
specifically, an XS wrapper around CoreFoundation. It started
out as code to read and write plists, then escalated to the
point that I had to put it aside and get some real work done.
CoreFoundation is relatively easy, if somewhat tedious, to wrap,
since it's straight C. I'm guessing Foundation and AppKit would
be tougher, since they're Objective-C. What I haven't found any
documentation for yet is how to set up the Objective-C runtime
so it can be called from C.
I'd be happy to share what I have, preferably in a central
location. Sourceforge, anyone?
