If you don't need all of OpenCV, writing a binding using
DerelictUtil is not that hard.

The main gotchas are:
- you really need an editor with a good column-mode
- taking care not to implement named enums
- taking care to replace long by c_long (resp. with unsigned long)

But of course with the sheer size of OpenCV anything automatic
would be better.
