Re: [Adonthell-devel] SWIG Advanced topics

Sorry for being so long to reply! I'm really exhausted these days
without any particular reason, still I'm trying hard to dedicate at
least a minimal amount of time to Adonthell.

Mmm. I did some tests about multiple modules with swig recently, and I
had no problem. Of course I haven't done all the crazy things they
suggest. But would we ever need in a module to inheritate from a class
in another module? I don't think so.

What's sure is that this doc is "a bit" out of date (look at the date!
;p). I've done some really small tests, but they went perfectly. So
maybe we could do without it.

As long as the dependancy is on the developer side, and not the player
side, that's ok I think.
