I'll do that.

IMO the goal would be to reduce language specific ifdefs from the 
general bindings, and remove unnecessary typedefs.

For example there are a lot of

#ifndef SWIGJAVA
   %feature( "kwargs" ) CopyLayer;
#endif

Is there a reason keywords arguments are not enabled with -keyword 
option for languages that support them?
