I compiled the example and read the documentation. SWIG looks extremely
cool.  And I must thank you greatly for putting such a wonderful example
with documentation together. I was fighting a long time to do a zlib
interface by hand since it involved non-opaque structures from scheme's
point of view.

I understand the gist of what you've done, but not the full extent of
it yet.  I really like the formalized type mapping system you have.

Thanks.
