From there it should be easy to go to Java and Python, I guess, but that requires additional software (SWIG for instance). The main issue under Windows is that finding DLLs (shared libraries) requires putting them in the PATH (there is no rpath equivalent). Currently each DLL is put in its own subdirectory, so the PATH would grow beyond any reasonable length. The practical solution seems to be to put them all in the same directory (at least for the Windows platform).
