Comment(by olly):

 We've tried to maintain non-SWIG based bindings for other languages (Perl
 and Java), and it doesn't work out well - they inevitably end up lagging
 significantly behind the C++ API.  The key things SWIG gives us are that
 it largely automates wrapping new classes and methods, and that it's just
 one tool to have to learn.

 So if you want to go that route, I'm afraid you get to maintain them as a
 separate project.
