This sounds like a good approach to me, especially if there is really a nearly
1-to-1 relation between the info in the ???DS.h headers and the info you wish
to expose to the API.
But remember that once to actually publish the API, you loose a lot of the
current flexibility you have to just change the structs whenever you want:
eventually there needs to be some mechanism to alert downstream users about
such changes. But that's a bridge that can probably be crossed later.
