I would like know like MONO and .NET do this job.

Here is the CAPI in csharp:
http://liblas.org/browser/trunk/csharp/dotnetLibLAS/LibLASCAPI.cs

Here a module in c# creating the classes:
http://liblas.org/browser/trunk/csharp/dotnetLibLAS/LASPoint.cs

Here the C API:

http://liblas.org/browser/trunk/src/las_c_api.cpp

This library was created in C++ with exceptions, namespaces, overloads, 
etc, etc...
The C API broke this C++ API in a C API.
