That's what I'm hoping for. :)

Ok. It came right back at me:

pyopensg/src> ** the above **
Could not determine compiler setting.
Could not determine GCCXML_FLAGS setting.

So, I changed it to run my compiled gccxml (pretty recent cvs head) and 
added "--gccxml-compiler cl" (I use VS9 and python 2.6) and fixed the 
include paths (pyopensg retrieves includepaths from the osg2-config 
python script, which used /I instead of /I and also had some non-escaped 
backslashes (turing 'c:\program files\boost' into 'c:\program files 
oost' as can be seen above :)

Running the modified cmd-line made gccxml run and print a whole lot, 
starting with:

j:/3rd/OpenSG/opensg2_trunk/build.win32.cl.9.0/instlinks/include/OpenSG/OSGConfig.h:135:2: 
error: #error Endian determination : could not guess your plattform

and ending up with an ICE.

It seems as I have to add a few defines and such to get the 
opensg-sources to identify the compiler correctly.

I can handle the osg2-config script myself, and probably figure out what 
defines are necessary, but where do I set compiler-arg + defines that 
are used when doing the cache-step that calls the above command?

Is this cache stuff in PyOpenSG or Py++? (because I can't seem to find 
any such call in gen_bindings.main() nor nearby related modules, unless 
I've missed something).
