I haven't yet had a chance to take a look at your binding code, but I
read Phil's first-look at it.  I'd be very interested in us working
together to develop a good C++ binding for ORBit.  I've been out of
the loop for a while, having run into a memory bug on Solaris that I
cannot for the life of me solve.  

As Phil said before, the code is currently being written such that it
will work, not really beauty....being picky about aesthetics >grin<,
I definitely have plans to clean up the code (or at least the dirt I
contributed).  At the same time, there exist some issues in the
ORBit-C implementation that I've been trying to fix for the sake of
the C++ wrapper.

Thanks for the comments.  I think we should work together and
cross-pollinate ideas.  I'll be taking a look at your implementation
in the near future (once I get some monkeys off my back here).
