Good idea, but it would be huge (at least what we know from gtk2hs). This project would rather serve as a kick-off and should concentrate on implementing as much automation as possible. I'm not sure, however, if we have a sufficiently good C++ parser.

Note that QtHaskell? already exists:

further extending this, making it releasable, abstracting out the C++ FFI binding... all interesting.
