Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator

<p>
SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in
C, C++, and Objective-C with a variety of high-level programming
languages. SWIG is primarily used with common scripting languages
such as Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, Ruby, and Guile but has also been extended to
include languages such as Java and Eiffel. SWIG is most
commonly used to create high-level interpreted programming
environments and as a tool for building user interfaces. SWIG may be
freely used, distributed, and modified for commercial and
noncommercial use.

<h3>Important Notice</h3>
SWIG is currently in a state of redevelopment in which it is being
reimplemented in ANSI C. This work can be found in the SWIG1.3 series
of releases. If you are concerned about stability or are a first-time
user, you may want to download some variant of SWIG1.1 instead.
Caveat--SWIG1.1 may not be compatible with recent releases of certain
scripting languages such as Perl 5.6 and Guile. Note: These changes
only pertain to the implementation of SWIG (the new version continues
to support C++ wrappers).
<p>
SWIG is an all volunteer effort. We are always looking for fearless people with
an abundance of spare time.
