"WS tooling" is shorthand for a set of tools and classes that is used to
simplify the mapping of WebServices into some implementation language.
It tends to focus on the production of class structures that match with
the XML definition of those services/documents with accessor methods
that match some approximation of the language's standard rules, together
with other methods to manage the conversion between that XML and those
class structures (usually supported by some library). Basically, it is a
bit like using yacc or bison to produce a parser, except that the input
language is different, the output of the parse is more well-defined, and
there are also methods to go back in the other direction (skipping over
the bits and pieces relating to webservices as opposed to document parsing.)

While there are certainly a number of tooling systems about for Java and
the .NET milieu, I know nothing about the state of tooling for C/C++.
