Hi Jordi,

That idea is still there for wrapitk, but I'm still lacking time to  
work on it.

On your side, are you thinking to a pure swig approach without  
wrapitk, or to wrapitk using the native swig?

The later one has made great progress last summer with the  
contribution of Ali Tonddast: I'm using it with python for my daily  
work now, and java, even if it is still a bit difficult to build, has  
received even more improvements than python.

Please let me know if you're interested in working on wrapitk. I'm  
ready to help has much as I can on that project. The various  
contributions in the past have even proved that I generally spend more  
time than I should on wrapitk when other contributors are working on  
it ;-)

We (sadely) had some problems with darcs on windows, so the code has  
moved to a subversion repository at
