Answer: none, as far as I know. There are utility apps but I've never 
seen it in a programming environment. As someone mentioned, you would 
probably have to write the C code yourself as an external or plug-in to 
your programming environment. RunRev won't do it, but I think you'll 
find neither do any others.

With that said, it's probably not rocket science to generate dummy 
OS-level events and send them to another app, I would suggest searching 
google groups or posting to an Apple developer list.
