Is the documentation still accurate on that there is no way to pass structs from Julia to C?

One other slight difficulty seems to be the lack of finilisers, e.g. to clean up a GMP bignum when there are no remaining references to it.

Ah, there are finalisers. The function finalizer lets you define a function to be called when there are no more references to an object. I guess maybe the idea is to use this from within the constructor.
