I'm not holding my breath, but it'd be real slick if I got that version working ).

The pod is scarce for now, but if you're curious how the interface works just look at the tests.

Thanks for the strategy.
I'd appreciate if people would give it a test run before I add the pod and release it on CPAN (aka feedback).

BTW -- all XS programmers should use Safefree and New instead of malloc and free, in addition to PTR2IV and INT2PTR.
MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6x+5.8x. I take requests.
