You're welcome. Contact Ferdinando for write-access to CVS. Tell him I sent
you :) (he's reading this anyway)

Good. Are you planning to adapt the existing SWIG interfaces, or to
hand-craft the bindings?

http://tinyurl.com/3zl9nCool. As SWIG 1.3.23 is scheduled for release in a few days, we'd have time
for adding this to 0.3.8.

I created the 0.3.8 release branch a few days ago. Unfortunately, the
laptop I use for QuantLib development broke soon after that, which will
prevent me from working on it until I get it fixed or I get a replacement.
But in any case, 0.3.8 should be out by the end of this month.
Later,
