It doesn't look like there are all the library bindings i want but I am wondering if this really matters. Someone could write a full binding for a library but could someone also not just use the import pragma to "grab onto" the existing C library APIs? This would be a bit like ctypes in Python correct ? Are other list members writing their own 'as needed' partial bindings? Is this a logical approach? -Patrick
