How feasible would it be to create a lightweight,
Python-free, GUI-less, barebones RDKit distribution?

- something that can be compiled (with minimal
dependencies) using the standard unix scripts:
configure, make, make install

- something that could be used to begin to craft a
SWIG interface

My own interest is in creating a Ruby interface to
RDKit.  In fact, if recent activity on the Open Babel
project is any indication, there may be a few other
folks interested in a _fill-in-the-blank_ interface to
RDKit.

To the extent that all of these interfaces and the
underlying C++ library were distributed under
MIT/BSD-style licenses, we would truly have something
new under the sun.

And if it were feasible to create this bare-bones
RDKit distribution, what features would be lacking?

cheers,
Rich
