That is always an appreciated request, Diedler! =)

Such discussions can be productive if they remains civilized, and does not
distract from the overall work of the project. If my recent discussion with
Steve Litt about C, etc has been considered a distraction, I will be happy to
remove it to private messaging, with no offense taken whatsoever. I had to
intention of being a nuisance.

Since many APIs are stored in C/C++ libraries or accessible via IPC/pipes,
creating bindings for whatever language you happen to be using is not
excessively difficult as long as the language you are using supports some form
of external calling.

If there is something in particular you need help with, please by all means
post it to the list, and I will help if I can.
