Correct me if I'm wrong, but does not SWIG suck? I.e. passing around opaque "pointers" instead of using object orientation etc.

After it was mentioned, I looked at it, but I saw that it wasn't appropriate. SWIG doesn't keep track of library interfaces such as gtk2, but the language interfaces, such as pike or python or whatever. So, if the gtk2 library api changed, I would still have to change the files; it wouldn't fix that problem. Some other things I do in the module also makes it difficult to apply in this situation, also, such as the object orientation, of which there is a lot in the gtk2 module.
