And these libraries could also distribute their defs files.  It would
probably be a good idea for the libraries to install their defs files as
part of the installation process ($(datadir)/defs or something?).  Quite
often one defs file will rely on definitions from a dependent library.

Having one set of defs files that all bindings use will be a big plus for
consistency.
