Ah, right :-)

I do think it would make more sense if it was maintained by someone
actually using the software on a daily basis, but if nobody steps up
I suppose it could also be left (in the current state) for a while ?
Either would be fine: starting over with SWIG, or keeping Status Quo.

Right, I guess it's "in maintenance" (without ever leaving Alpha stage).

If the 3.0 release would include a C version, that would change things
since that would mean that some of the SWIG code could be shared with
other language bindings (such as C# or Java, or perhaps Python or Ruby).
Currently each extra language has their own set of SWIG interface files.
