Well, you don't need to master C++, for wrapping a C++ library we use Cython 
which is a much smaller and easier language. Have a look at 
http://www.cython.org Note that Burcin worked on wrapping FFLAS-FFPACK 
directly before (I am pinging him explicitly, so he knows about this threat)

Yes and w>1.

Which forum? Do you mean <linbox-...@googlegroups.com> ? In any case, I am 
also pinging Clément with this e-mail, who is the lead (sole?) developer of 
FFLAS-FFPACK.
