Fantastic.

That would be much appreciated.  I've just completed a large batch of
enhancements to the srcgen  script so unfortunately your code will
probably need some updates to bring it in line with CVS.

In a metadata file having headerOnly='true' you define your functions
with class Procedure.  Then somewhere under qla you implement a
wrapper for the QuantLib function.  For examples of this please see
srcgen/utilities.xml
qla/utilites.cpp
