#15 Python and Ruby hooks

[Charles Hixson]

Add hooks to allow connection of Python and Ruby (and
Guile?) scripts to Eiffel programs.

Python has standardized ways to allow C and Python to
interconnect, so that step shouldn't be too difficutl
:-), I know that Ruby has a SWIG connection, but I
don't know how complete or debugged it is. Still, Ruby
would be nice. About Guile I know practically nothing,
but it seems to be working its way into the Gnome
desktop, so it might become important to be able to
link with it. (OTOH, Python might be edging it out?)

I am planning to add Thomas Aglassinger's C interface in the
near future. When that is working I will look into
interfacing with Python et. al.
