I think you should look into the gobject-introspection project, I'm not
sure whos working on it presently and where they are, but they
have an api description XMLish format that covers all function calls
(the project involves generating these XML files from source and
gtk-doc statements to make language bindings easier).
Is it possible the format is called IDL ? maybe I am thinking
of something else though...
