[erlang-questions] a C API for Erlang

[Alain O'Dea]

If you really do want to call C directly you need to create a
Linked-in Driver. The Erlang Driver Toolkit [EDTK]
http://www.snookles.com/erlang/edtk/ looks like a good way to do this.
Make sure the C code is thoroughly tested and free of side effects
insofar as is possible.
