I'd like that too, we'll see.

The next set of NASA C code that needs bindings is the navigation 
library at https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/index.html.  This is an 
older library and so it isn't listed in the expected location 
https://software.nasa.gov/

A next step for the the CDF bindings would be to parse the 
existing external text documentation for each function and output 
ddoc comments.  Text processing is not my forte so any hints or 
volunteers are more than welcome.  I'll open an issue for that on 
github.
