I think swig is nice.  It does the supposed job, quick and dirty
interface to C.

I have only minor complaints.  First, the access to structure fields
involves searching assoc lists, using string as a key.  As a result,
my program spends a lot of time in comparing strings.  A possible and
easy improvement is making access functions for structure fields
accessible from the outside.

Another problem, which may not be a swig problem, is that my program
occasionally crash.  malloc in a structure creation function (new_*)
causes seg fault.  Could you give me a suggestion where I have to
look?
