ok guys, I have made a dirty hack in the C++ Function class
in order to get the desired functionality. Looks very much like
Dags code. Could I ask you to take a quick look at it (see below)
to see if I have done anything alarming. So now both the cell searching
and the function evaluation can be done from python (and perhaps be
condensed into one function call if desired) and it
seems to work.
Thanks for your help along the way.

//step #1: get expansion coefficient on the cell
uint n = finite_element.space_dimension();
real* coefficients = new real[n];
this->interpolate(coefficients,ufc_cell,finite_element,cell);
//step #2: multiply with basis functions on the cell
real* basis_val = new real[finite_element.value_dimension(0)];
for(uint i=0; i<n; i++)
{
finite_element.evaluate_basis(i,basis_val,x,ufc_cell);
values[0] += basis_val[0]*coefficients[i];
}
}
