It could be done without even looking at the source of the GPLed
library and this way not doing anything looking like copying.
It would take some reverse engineering, wich I don't think the GPL
allows, but acording to danish laws[0] I don't care. Production of header
files is essential for cooperating with the library which allows me to
reverse engineer them.
Still talking danish laws: But I'm not sure I could distribute the
produced headers.
0) I know other countries has a like laws. Australia come to mind (old
/. story)
