No, I was experimenting with swig bindings for the server side common/, which is not for the plugin, but for making applications in languages such as python that can easily read the maps and archetypes through the existing C code. I got it working eventually, but it was very grotty and shouldn't be included in crossfire until/unless we have something that uses it (i.e. python based map editor, or php based map render). Perhasp I should find somewhere to publicly store this though.
Swig bindings could probably be used for the python plugin, but that would likely cause it to be rather bloated (swig frequently generates C source that's over 500kb which normally has to be linked to other code as well). IMHO Swig is a very good idea for making apps using maps and arches in scripting languages, however it's not well suited for the server plugin.
