Hmm, agreed, those "add" are redundant anyway, and I like "code" better 
than "include". 8)

The names in caps indicates the sections in the source file where the 
code should go:

#include <boost/python.hpp>
<INCLUDE SECTION>

<GLOBAL_DECLARATION SECTION>

namespace {

<DECLARATION SECTION>

}

BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(module)
{
    <MODULE SECTION>
}

I think it is interesting to let the user add code arbitrarly in the 
source file, but I might be wrong.

Thanks for the input!
Nicodemus.
