I think my question should be quite clear. I really don't care what kind
of tool, so much as I'm looking for certain qualities of the solution.
As I said, ease of use, simplicity, less C++ are priorities. Wrapping
large libraries, generality are less important.

Surprisingly, I haven't seen a boost recommendation. That's probably just
as well since I don't care much for template syntax.
Manually... do you wrap many functions or classes, or only occasional ones?
