We prefer bindings to be written in the language itself, as much as possible. I'm almost sure wrapping the MAPI C-API in Eiffel will result in something foreign to the language (if you can figure out pre and post conditions anyway).
the intermediate results of an eiffel system build are c source files, then to have the final results you use a C compiler, I don't see any language mismatch.
Sure, but mapping each C function into a C-wrapper for Eiffel will make a mess. Swig is a well known example of that.
