just as info: I have started a year ago a C-implementation of the 
functionality I have implemented in Tcl which is independent of any ooo code 
(advantage: you have a relativly small library without the overhead of an ooo 
client which has a lot of code you don't need for most cases in a language 
wrapper). The idea was to use swig interfaces based on that library for other 
languages to provide easy access with a small number of interface functions. 
The basic interface is using only strings for all types, the conversions 
could then be done with some library functions or in these languages itself. 
Not having enough time for it, it was never finished. If there are more 
people interested in a basic interface I could open that project again and 
finish it or finish it together with others.

The implementation was very close to the TCL code, because so I could use the 
C-implementation of a lot of the TCL functionality without having to write 
too much code myself and it makes it easier to keep the TCL implementation 
and the C-implementation synchronous. I was also thinking about using the 
C-implementation for TCL too when it was finished. The TCL code is BSD 
licensed, so there is no problem in using parts of it.

So please let me know if there is some interest in that implementation and if 
yes, who would like to spend also some time on the project, as I am currently 
working on an other open source project for TCL and don't have too much time 
for the urp project.
