This should do it:

       <Constructor name='qlCurvesInterpolator'>
           <libraryFunction>CurvesInterpolator</libraryFunction>
           <SupportedPlatforms>
               <SupportedPlatform name='Excel'/>
               <SupportedPlatform name='Cpp'/>
           </SupportedPlatforms>
           <ParameterList>
               <Parameters>
                   <Parameter name='CurveIds'>
                       <type>QuantLib::YieldTermStructure</type>
                       <superType>libraryClass</superType>
                       <tensorRank>vector</tensorRank>
                       <description>curve object IDs.</description>
                   </Parameter>
               </Parameters>
           </ParameterList>
       </Constructor>

Kind Regards,
Eric
