In most cases, that stuff documents the design process we used to get to
the architecture we have now; and so most some of it speaks from the
point of view that things stood two years ago before we had done all the
work.

I have been planning to redo that from its current historical role to
present-tense architecture documentation, but that can wait.

especially

and

[and yes, I ought to reuse all that in the project documentation, but
that can also wait]

The workings of the code generator itself is discussed somewhat at
http://research.operationaldynamics.com/bzr/java-gnome/mainline/src/generator/BindingsGenerator.java
and the comment at the top of 
http://research.operationaldynamics.com/bzr/java-gnome/mainline/src/generator/com/operationaldynamics/defsparser/DefsParser.java
and other files in src/generator/ in any checkout of java-gnome.
