Sébastien is referring to the way that the symbols are already generated for
the existing bindings. There are a set of awk scripts which "know" how to parse
the C headers. Each binding suppliees its own awk script that provides hanlers
for then writing the symbols into the file(s) and with the format that it
needs. You can see examples of these scripts by looking in
Bindings/<language>/constatns.awk. To take advantage of this infrastructure
you'd need to create Bindings/Rust/, and include ../../bindings.mk within your 
make file.
