Hi Sean,
I can't remember the details so I'm ccing the devlist but I'm pretty
sure someone got .NET bindings for the API working. Was that you

P.S. Would anyone that has played with bindings lately - from swig I
guess i.e. perl, c#, python like to write up a web page so we can
advertise their availability.
