+Hey all,\r
+\r
+Here's the latest version of my patch adding SWIG interface generation to\r
+notmuch. It has been rebased on the shared-library patches I sent over earlier\r
+this week, so you'll need those as well. Unfortunately, SWIG has effectively no\r
+support for exposing notmuch's C-style object-oriented interface in a\r
+reasonable manner. Therefore, I use SWIG to generate a set of low-level\r
+bindings which is then wrapped with a light-weight module properly exposing the\r
+functions in their intended class structure. This seems like a fairly good\r
+solution, given the wide variety of capabilities possessed by modern high-level\r
+languages.\r
+\r
+As you can see, it all works quite nicely,\r
