Don't worry, I did not stop working on SWIG. I just switched to pen and
paper to figure out a proper cross-system, cross-platform way to implement
it.
I think I found a good approach which deals with all the problems in a nice
way by making the interface more direct for the user.
I want this to be easy for the occasional SWIG-user, but extendable for the
pros. This is a thin line to walk.
I already have it staged, and scheduled some time for next week to get it
done and pushed.

So my suggestion for now is to roll back to an un pre-post-fixed version
until next week.

The TODO is just in German for now because I needed it on the go and it was
easier for me to just paste in in the repo.
