Alas, no; the language bindings are bundled in the OpenSRF source
(http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/OpenSRF/browser/trunk/src) and Evergreen
source (http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS/browser/trunk/Open-ILS/src);
see the c-apps/libopensrf, java (if you must), javascript, perlmods,
and python subdirectories for the C, Java, JavaScript, Perl, and
Python language bindings.

Yep, I'm aware of it, but it's too hard for me to justify putting my
time into it at the moment, unfortunately. Too many other burning hot
issues competing for my limited attention :(
