If it isn't heavily templated like boost people like to do it shouldn't
be difficult to swig. Too bad that I see a PTREE::value_type which means
that probably it will need to be wrapped (AFAIK swig doesn't do
templates).

Anyway the plan was to handle the sexp files externally, so it doesn't
apply. And I don't like python either:P
