[admin] Request for new project

Hello,

My name is Daniel Dickison.  I've been working on a Common Lisp  
project C-to-FFI which aims to make the generation of FFI definitions  
as automated as possible.  This project makes use of GCC-XML <http:// 
www.gccxml.org/> which turns C files into XML (using an actual,  
patched, gcc preprocessor), which my code then turns in to UFFI forms.

Currently, full functionality is only available in OpenMCL, although  
it should be easily portable to other lisps.  Eventually, I would  
like to have C-to-FFI generate code not only for UFFI but CFFI also.   
I want to post it on Common-Lisp.net so that other Lispers could give  
me feedback -- on the API or whether such a tool is even needed.  I  
personally think such a tool is valuable, and I haven't found  
preexisting solutions.  CParse is one such project, but it appears to  
be CMUCL-specific and old.

If you would kindly host this project, I would like to have a darcs  
repository.  As for license, I have not really considered this, but I  
suppose BSD-style will do if I must specify.  And below is my PGP  
public key.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Daniel
