That's what I do for my JS bindings already, although I am still using the
old shell script code in that tree. I did have to move the *.i files though
and modify them to only conditionally include some stuff that is Python
specific.

But the SWIG approach is rather painful for some other languages, so I'd
like to hear if others might want a more straight forward (in terms of
bindings) C API.
