In theory, deimos is the place to put C bindings, but at this point, I
wouldn't bother, because if you do put them there, you don't control the
repo, which can get annoying, and the important thing for finding and using
the bindings is to have them on code.dlang.org. Regardless, if you're
talking about creating a wrapper library rather than bindings, then deimos
isn't really the place for that.
