http://www.swig.org

SWIG will parse header files and generate wrapper code for accessing
C/C++ struct members and calling C/C++ functions.

Be sure to get version 1.3a5, which supports Guile very well.  (Don't
try 1.1p5, its Guile support is severely broken.) For use with C++,
you will also need a patch against 1.3a5 that is available at SWIG's
SourceForge pages.
