Good suggestion. I've done just that in r33355 when I merged ctypesgen to trunk.

Good points. To help ensure that platform-specific APIs show up
automatically, I've made two changes:
  1. I taught ctypesgen to wrap all APIs, even if the API is not
present in the libraries on your platform.
  2. I updated the Subversion headers to include platform-specific
functions if 'CTYPESGEN' is defined.

If people add new platform-specific functions, they should follow our
example and let ctypesgen see the functions by including the functions
in the headers if CTYPESGEN is defined. This way, it won't be
necessary to manually wrap any new APIs.

Cheers,

David
