SWIG DOES support C++! You are misunderstanding the above URL. It is
the list of supported *scripting* languages (PHP is supported as of
swig-1.3.11). There is never a reason to write a wrapper for C++ for
calling C++ functions. SWIG generates wrappers for *scripting
languates* (such as PHP) to call *compiled* languages including *both*
C AND C++ and it actually also works for FORTRAN, and likely any other
*compiled* language that can be called from C (like Pascal, Ada, Cobol,
etc.). SWIG actually generats C or C++ code.
