At first I was considering the usage of some automated tool like the one used to generate the GTK# bindings to GTK+, but I decided that it was probably best if I implement them manually. If my project reaches maturity for which I hope I and my fellow with whom we're working on the project will provide the community with an alternative terminal and GUI based client. So I asked my question because I was not certain whether these bindings could eventually find themselves to the main source tree.
