They are generated using bgen, which is in Tools/bgen/bgen. The last  
time I looked at this (which is a couple of years ago) you basicly had  
to be Jack to run this :-(. You also have to have the MacOS9 SDK  
headers, bgen doesn't look at the system headers at the moment.

I've talked with Jack about both issues a while back and they should  
be fixed, but neither of us have much time to actually do that.
