I just wanted to make sure that you didn't have a "simple" computation.
After seeing your answer, I think that I'd agree with Gheorghe...   

Give SWIG a try.

If you have any questions regarding swig and Tcl, you might
try posting questions to comp.lang.tcl

comp.lang.tcl is probably not the best place for swig related
questions, but they are very friendly and helpful.  For a
"swig / Tcl" question, that's where I'd go.
