Hello Wim,

b2World from Box2D/Dynamics/b2World.h has the problem. I exported the header file 
using this command:
gccxml -o box2d_gccxml.xml /usr/local/include/Box2D/Box2D.h

Then I think it is useful to compare cppyy and Wrappyr. It'd be unfortunate if 
the two projects really have exactly the same goals and usa cases, because it'd 
mean that while I have learned from this project, I've just written a lot of 
obsolete code ;). Where can I find documentation of cppyy? Google doesn't reveal 
anything useful to me.

Kind regards,
Vincent
