Yes, I know about python-apt, but the idea of using SWIG would be to maintain
one set of glue interfaces and generate perl/python/ruby/language-of-the-week
bindings from it.
If at all possible, I also want to generate the glue from the C++ headers, so
that everything would automatically be updated as the interface changes.
