Have you considered using slirp <http://space.mit.edu/~mnoble/slirp/>
to wrap the functions and data structures in this file?  It should
produce something that is more or less a straightforward mapping of
your interface, and handle all the memory management for you.
Mike Noble is the slirp expert and can probably provide additional
details.
