Does SWIG work with Guile?

The Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator (http://www.swig.org) is a compiler that integrates C and C++ with languages including Perl, Python, Tcl, Guile, Mzscheme, Java and Ruby. SWIG reads annotated C/C++ header files and creates wrapper code (glue code) in order to make the corresponding C/C++ libraries available to the listed languages, or to extend C/C++ programs with a scripting language. Though SWIG 1.1p5 had some Guile support, it is strongly recommended to use version 1.3.6 instead. It represents C/C++ pointers as Guile smobs. Memory leaks and type conversion bugs have been fixed. The Guile module system, including dynamic loading, and exceptions are supported. A typemap-driven procedure-documentation system has been added (requires Guile 1.4). Procedures-with-setters can be generated for accessing C/C++ variables. SWIG 1.3.6 supports Guile 1.3.4 and newer.
