   ... iff you are targeting Win32 only ;) You will have to come up with
some other mechanism for NGC/PS2, although I suppose you could extract
the parameter info from your Win32 exe and use it to generate some sort
of tables that you can link into the NGC/PS2 version. But then, you
might as well just use SWIG, or even Doxygen to scan your code to
generate the export tables. That's what I do :)

   Oh, and for the record we use LUA. I looked at Python but it seems
too heavy and sluggish for scripting our games. But then, I didn't
really try using it in anger so it may work better than LUA in practice.
LUA seems ok so far and "if it ain't broke..." so I guess I may never
find out ;)

Cheers,
Stef! :)
