I think VTK and ITK both use CableSWIG to build bindings for python
and tcl. I think the way CableSWIG works is that they get gcc (or a
modified gcc) to write out an xml file that describes the interfaces.
Maybe rather than write our own lexers and parsers another approach
would be to get CableSWIG to work with octave.
