That would be interesting, but I'm not quite sure how such a linkage could
work, since templates are a compile-time phenomenon.  Does anyone know
anything more about this?

In any case, both of my major NumPy/C++ projects have been through SWIG. 
I've just started using the TNT C++ library (from NIST).  With the right
SWIG typemaps, passing NumPy arrays to and from the TNT Vectors is
completely seamless, only requiring a copy or two.
