This is really great! A couple of questions:

1) the blacklist implies that any new .h files added to the source tree will automatically have sip bindings generated unless you explicitly blacklist them?
2) are you thinking to maintain the sip files in Git still or remove the from revision in favour of having them as build time artifacts only? I ask this because I often direct people to use the sip files as a reference guide for the python API if they want to dig under the hood a bit more.
