We started with a generic file, but frankly it didn't work very well. Many 
things, you'll want to customize to meet specific language needs. So it's 
fairly fast to adapt, say openbabel-python.i, but not everything will apply. 
I'd also look up how R bindings are compiled with SWIG so you can put in the 
appropriate CMake build rules.

Hope that helps,
