Well, I'm done with my work.  Just FYI, here is what I checked in:

 1. scipy_core/weave/swig2_spec.py has been improved to transparently
    handle PyCObject based SWIG objects.  This was a problem I just
    noticed because SWIG from CVS now defaults to using PyCObjects.
    There goes my sleep.

 2. Added a few examples to scipy_core/weave/examples/.  These include
    
    a. array3d.py: example to show how one can access a 3D numeric
       array with or without blitz.

    b. vtk_example.py: example illustrating how one can inline C++ to
       handle VTK objects.  Only tested under Linux though.

    c. swig2_example.py, swig2_ext.h, swig2_ext.i: A simple example
       showing how SWIG2 wrapped objects can be handled with weave.
       The .h and .i files can be used to make a trivial SWIG2 module
       the commands for building which are mentioned in
       swig2_example.py.

Just one point.  swig2 support is not turned on by default, i.e. the
following line in swig2_spec.py is commented::

 #converters.default.insert(0, swig2_converter())

Folks who want to use swig2 support have to do this manually.  I am
not sure what to do about it and will let Eric decide.

So, with that my job is done.  You can go ahead and release 0.3.2 when
you can.
