ok. I'm using a custom filter function now that rejects everything 
except my desired class. The test is based on decl.name (by the way, a 
reference manual where the attributes and methods of those declaration 
objects are documented would come in rather handy at this point ;)
So far so good...

Right, after adding the paths to 'user_defined_directories' the #include 
statements look good.
(It's a bit unfortunate that I have to pass the path information twice 
in my script (once for parser_config and once for the above attribute). 
It would be nice if the information could be reused.)

I extended my test and already added more than one class and tried the 
write_multiple_files() function. Basically, it works fine, but one 
problem still remains: The output files will only compile if I include 
some additional header files (which actually depend on the class I'm 
wrapping). So how do I tell pyplusplus to add those headers to the 
output files? (in Pyste I was using the declaration_code() function)
