Hmm, well I can't pass a Numeric array of complex type (isn't allowed by 
NumPtr) but I can write a wrapper in C++ around my code which will 
receive the pure real part and pure imaginary part, then I can combine 
them.  I think I'd have to do this anyways, to get the data massaged 
into the form that my C++ classes need.
