More interface files

[Dan Sugalski]

While I'm having a heck of a time getting anything besides a connection to
happen with it... I've checked in library/postgres.pasm. It's an
interface to Posgres 7.3's libpq (the C interface to postgres) library.

Have fun, folks.

On a vagely related note, is anyone looking into using the header
files parsing abilities of ExtUtils::XSBuilder and extending it
to generate pasm?

Tim.

Along the same line, has anybody looked at SWIG, http://www.swig.org,
for automatically creating interfaces to Parrot?

CU, Bernhard

That's a good question. I've been generating the pasm from interface
files, and I've been creating the iterface files by hand, which has been
less than entirely fun. :) OTOH, given what the headers look like, I'm not
sure how much luck any automatic tool'd have with some of these things.
(The GNU version of the ncurses file was particularly unpleasant)
