Indeed.
I've tried to use directors and it seems to work well if there are no shared_ptr involved.

My problem now is

given

class A; (with some virtual functions)

class B
{
	virtual boost::shared_ptr<A> a() = 0;
};

I don't seem to be able to create a shared_ptr in the target language.
Everything would be very easy if instead of the shared_ptr the code had a raw pointer.
I guess I need some SWIG expert here.
