I would steer away from XS, particularly since you've got the Inline
code written. The bakefiles aren't too bad. There's a couple in
my /svn/ if you want to crib (CAD::Drawing::IO::DWGI,
Math::Geometry::Planar::GPC::Polygon)
The one trick is that you have to have a VERSION line in the Inline
config. I have a script in my (kludgy) build/package/upload process
that toggles the comment on this.
I'm not exactly sure, but I don't think you'll have this taint issue
with the installed code. If the VERSION was set and you did a "make
install", then it should be ~ equivalent to an XS module.
