Yeah, my documentation addresses it. There's a directive that I'm too lazy
to look up, where you can write something like:

    %name MY_PI #declare PI ....

and that would take care of it.

No, not for me. There's a lot of support stuff that Win32Lib does, and I'm
not really a competent C/C++ code. If I was a good C++ code, that route
would probably be very appealing.

Despite my C incompetence, I am working hard on getting wxWindows running
under Euphoria. wxWindows is a cross-platform library, supporting Linux
(with Xt, Motif and GTK+), Win32 (using native controls) and the Mac (also
with native controls). So I think that this would be a *big* win over
Win32Lib - *if* I can do it. Fortunately, I can borrow a lot of code from
wxPython. Once I get even the simplest demo up and running, I'll be making a
lot more noise about it.

BTW, there's a small bug in SWIG/Euphoria that causes structures accessor
wrappers to be misnamed; I've just sent Robert a fix.

Thanks for the feedback!
