It's basically very easy to do.  For an overview look at the extending 
and embedding documentation and the files in Demo/embed.

One approach would be to down load SWIG (www.swig.org) and use it to
wrap your code.  This is a good approach if your code doesn't use
templates.  Anther approach is to use the work of the C++ sig.  This
approach is more friendly to templated code.
