Ugh.  Yeah, I just recalled it from forum posts, and I don't think I ever
looked closely.  

I know that as part of my redesign of wxEuphoria, I started looking at SWIG.  
The wxPython folks use this tool.  But it seemed like more work than was 
necessary, especially since I controlled the specs for the code, and could 
keep within certain well defined boundaries, so it was easier to write my 
own code to wrap stuff from libwxeu.dll.

Looking at the archive, David Cuny did some work with SWIG:

It might be a viable method, although I think that it requires you to build
your own dll.  I haven't really used SWIG, though, and I'm sure that there
are much newer versions, so the utility of this code is questionable for
this sort of effort.
