Now that the C preprocessor in NYACC/C99 is more robust I could start = looking at generating some sort of =E2=80=9CFFI helper=E2=80=9D = functionality. I have been thinking about this problem on and off for a = while. Completely automating things might be tough, but a =E2=80=9Chelper= =E2=80=9D would probably go a long way. Matt
