Yes. Definitely needs development.
Doing it by hand using the FFI is hard, as the FFI does not support  
passing structures like NSRect.
For now, I recommend writing a small objective-c helper class that  
wraps those functions in static methods; this class can then be used  
more conveniently using declareClass, declareSelector and an instance  
declaration.

About NSLog... variable argument functions are a nightmare and will  
probably never be properly supported.
