We use the same tools that Gtkmm uses, which are explained in
http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/tutorial/html/sec-wrapping-documentation.html
This uses docextract_to_xml.py from pygobject, which I would guess is
used in PyMaemo too? Our other tool for wrapping a C API to a C++ API
is gmmproc, which does much of the more clever transformations, for
example changing NULL to 0. I guess that a lot of this would not be
relevant for PyMaemo, but the gmmproc tool is in glibmm if you are
interested.

Please let me know if any more information would be useful.
