Language Bindings for Erlang

[Torbjorn Tornkvist]

I think it is unfortunate that there doesn't exist a quick 
and easy way to create efficient interfaces with a C 
library. Once upon a time there was IG:

I also belive that Scott Lystig Fritchie wrote something in
this area. An Erlang add-on to SWIG would be nice...

Preferably, one should be able to choose creating a 
port-program, linked-in driver, C-node interface.
It is up for grabs; anyone ?
