There is a header file for each class and a global header file. A class header 
file will include the global header file.

The global %HeaderCode goes in the global header file. The class %HeaderCode 
goes in the class header file.

What you've done is the right thing to do if the API you are wrapping is 
defined in a single header file. Jim's is the right approach when an API is 
defined over class specific header files - as in PyQt and PyKDE.
