I really enjoy using swig as a universal
scripting-language-interface-generator-thingie.  It doesn't make
interfaces that are as efficient as hand-rolled ones, but in most cases
you don't use scripting languages for run-time efficiency but, rather,
development efficiency.  Swig fits the bill for the latter for sure!
