I think German is more looking like into a bridge into another 
(scripting-) language as wrapping that into objective-c calls?
I have no experience with that, but once wrote a wrapper for libpcap, 
that can be found in the gnustep-non-fsf SVN repo.
At least there, I had no need to include low level objc headers to do that.
