I didn't want to overpromise what is there and what it can do.

There is also the question of buy in. If the community buys into 
APIBind, then it's worth finishing it to Boost quality standards. If 
there isn't the interest, then it can remain as a personal private 
library standalone modularity toolkit only I use.

tl;dr; If other people start using APIBind then I'll see plenty of 
reason to finish it. Otherwise I don't know if I'm solving a problem 
anyone else has.
