Ah. It sure looks like we can :-)

I've attached an untested patch. The generated C code looks just fine. If
somebody wants to give it a real run-through, I'd be most thankful!

The basic strategy is that we capture the output-argument processing for the
function and substitute exactly what we want. I'm not sure if the Java
bindings need something similar, but the Java guys can figure it out, I'm
sure.
