ExtUtils::XSBuilder is a set modules to parse C header files and
create XS glue code and documentation out of it. Ideally this allows to
"write" an interface to a C library without coding a line. Since no
C-API is ideal, some adjuments are necessary most of the time. So to
use this module you must still be familar with C and XS programming,
but it removes a lot of stupid work and copy&paste burden. Also when
the C API changes, most of the time you only have to rerun XSBuilder
to get your new Perl API.
