Please update this list if you are working on bindings for one of the libraries in it, or if you know of existing bindings.
Hit and run comments: Maybe it might be better to graft a list like this gradually, adding libraries to it as someone discovers a need; the current list contains numerous entries that are utterly non-sensicat (eg. apel), and libraries for which bindings (or equivalent functionality written in lisp) exist (eg. libc, readline, ncurses, zlib).
Yeah, maybe... on the other hand there's only a couple of hundred (less now) - keep telling me which ones don't make sense and I'll keep removing them (as I have the ones you listed).
Do you want updaters to remove libraries for which bindings exist? Perhaps more useful would be to add a comment to the effect that the binding is available, or divide the list into two?
