I have it all running, to some extent. The problem is you need a 
very specific version of Swig to make it work, and even then 
there's some problems that need fixing:
- there are some missing semicolons in .h files! (this, together 
that no-one from the PyOpenGL developers has yet taken me up on 
my offer of a patch, makes me wonder about the status of the 
whole thing)
- swig, even with the right version, had trouble with one 
function so I had to comment it out.
- most serious: the output parameter mechanism doesn't get 
treated right by the version of swig I used, it is somehow an 
input parameter.

All of this is at work, I'll try and remember to attach my patch 
to the sourceforge bug report I have outstanding tomorrow. 
Please ping me if it isn't there in another 24 hours. And I'd 
love to be able to solve the three problems sketched above, too, 
so if you have time to invest in this that would be great...
