That mechanism needs a lot of work, if you (Chad) are not afraid of  
hacky python code: have a look at Scripts/CodeGenerators in the  
source distribution. If you have lots of free time you could take a  
look at sandbox/parsing in the repository as wel. That is an attempt  
at rewriting the CodeGenerator scripts that got stalled. The header- 
parsing bit should be 95+% done, the rest needs work.
