I think you missed Havoc's point.

Languages that have built in introspection/reflection facilities like 
Java, python, Mono should be able to auto generate the introspection xml 
in their bindings (that way it is not subject to human error when 
manually mapping them out)

It just needs someone who is familiar with those languages to patch the 
bindings to do it.
