Summary: Start of a bgen tutorial

Initial Comment:
Jack,

this is (maybe) a start of a bgen tutorial. It 
explains some of the things I understand now from bgen.

It is not finished, also it uses windows specific 
examples. I'm requesting comments on the general 
approach. I have also sent it to you via email, but 
probably you have not seen it.

Thomas, I'm leaving your tutorial in the patch section for
now.

My reason for this is that you give a nice explanation of
how bgen generates code, and how you can then build the
module (nifty, that one!), but you skip the whole "front
end" bit: how bgen parses your C header files, and how you
add support for the various C objects to Python. And in my
opinion that is the biggest stumbling block for people
starting to work with bgen.

I'll try and come up with a framework for a tutorial, if I
have something I'll let you know so you can shine your light
on it.
