[Axiom-developer] Re: GCL and elf-loader

[Gernot Hueber]

In the meantime I had a look to www.swig.org, which has been mention on the 
axiom-* lists recently. IMHO it should be possible to generate wrappers 
(lisp and aldor) with this tool - yet there is much black magic inside, 
especially the way to extend swig. Swig supports AllegroCL using FFI which 
is not included with GCL (at the moment)
