Hi Rob,
The crfsuite wrapper is still far from complete (a couple test cases 
even seg-fault).  I also echo Olivier's input on the problem that numpy 
arrays/scipy sparse matrices cannot be mapped to the crfsuite internal 
data structure.  For that reason, it would be very hard to use crfsuite 
in scikit-learn for the purpose it's designed: efficient computations 
for large datasets.

That being said, if you have the time to work on it, that would be 
great!  I currently don't have the extra bandwidth.  Thanks!
   Jake
