+SWIG is a tool for automatically generating the wrapper code needed
+to link collections of functions written in C/C++ with interpreted
+scripting languages. Currently, SWIG supports :
+
+ - Tcl
+ - Perl4
+ - Perl5
+ - Guile-iii
+ - Python 1.3
+
+Using SWIG, it is possible to greatly simplify interface development
+and to put interesting interfaces on existing applications with
+little effort.
