Hi,
  I'm working on the MySQL library for Julia based on MySQL's C api. I 
often run into enumerations to be passed as parameters.  for example
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-stmt-attr-set.html

The approach that I can come up with is to find the header file where this 
enum is defined, infer the possible integer value it corresponds to (as the 
integer value is not explicitly associated to the enum attribute in C code 
), define the corresponding value in Julia and pass it to the function. I 
find this tedious and error prone at times (when the number of enum values 
cross a dozen). Is there an alternative way that I'm missing?

Regards,
Sharmi
