[Pyrex] really wanting C++ support

Hi,

I'm finding lots of libraries which are only available with C++ entry
points.

For example, the FLTK gui lib - http://fltk.sf.net

At the moment, I'm put into the challenging position of having to write
C to C++ shim layers, which is proving very laborious and tricky,
especially when handling callbacks.

At the moment, the only way to wrap C++ libs is either via hand-coding,
or getting eyebrow-deep into SWIG Hell.

Is there any way Greg and other Pyrex devs might get inspired to phase
in some C++ support?

Cheers
David
