[Metakit] Metakit and C#?

[gary.h.merrill at gsk.com]

I'm a little puzzled by the characterization of C++ in this context as a 
"secondary language".  I thought that Metakit was implemented in C++, 
which would make that the *primary* language.   ???

Beyond that, my understanding (from a local expert) is that it is 
straightforward to call routines in other languages from C# (he says that 
his application calls a number of C++ and even Fortran modules).  So what 
I was wondering is whether anyone has experience doing this with Metakit.

I have slowly been making a swig wrapper for metakit to help for
secondary languages, java, c++, python.

It is at the point where it is almost useable ( I can make databases
and add rows and such ) but it has not been well tested and is
certainly not incredibly complete nor as easy to use as the current
python interface.  It pretty much is a direct copy of the C++
interface.

I'll be happy to upload this somewhere so people can begin playing
with it, it is highly in-progress though, mainly an issue of how much
time I have.
