I'm going to see about implementing this second option. Perhaps just a file
with the functions defined that the generator checks before spewing it would
be ok ? This way we could implement what we wanted, and let it generate
stubs for other stuff... basically it'd just be 'overriding' the stub
if a real implementation existed.

Yep. I'll work on this and exceptions at work tomorrow. I tried to keep
it from breaking (which I think I've done), but we'll see what happens
when I add exceptions ;-)
