The latest release of swiginac is ginac-1.4, and the development branch of
swiginac as well. There are a lot of new stuff going on in the ex.i interface
file, as ginac has completely changed the type system. I believe I got it to
work, though, copying the ex.i file from swiginac and then modifying it. I'll
set up my private syfi repository at simula, so you can pull from it.
