[Pythonmac-SIG] SWIG and making extension modules

[Rob Managan]

I have successfully used SWIG to wrap the Processor Manager 
functions. At this time I have really only tested the 
GetProcessInformation and the MacGetCurrentProcess functions. I set 
this up to see how hard it would be to use SWIG for this purpose. 
Mainly I wanted to be able to get the process name, Signature, and 
active time.

It turns out that it is not as easy to use as I would like. However, 
it does give you a lot of flexibility. The main problems revolve 
around trying to use the special objects that Jack provides for 
things like FSspec pointers and OSTypes... I want to clean it up a 
little and add some documentation and then hope to make it available.

If you want to see it in its rough form let me know.
