Sorry, I failed adding it twice. I'm ready for a release.

PyDOLFIN and the "dolfin-swig" tool can now compile more DOLFIN
classes than just forms and finite elements, typically Function
(coefficients) and BoundaryCondition, which need to be efficient. It
should be trivial to allow compilation of any interface that's
included in PyDOLFIN, but I haven't found a clean solution. This is
also related to having to manually input the header files in the
PyDOLFIN SWIG interface file.

I'm not quite sure where this is heading, but it's very useful to be
able to transparently mix Python and C++. Perhaps in the end we will
find an existing Python module which does this better (JIT-type
functionality is still missing). The "plast" PyDOLFIN demo shows how
this can be used.
