Good enough. I will have something ready to look at in a few days. In the
meantime, let me whet your appetite.

One simple line of code for each class, and one for each member function of
the class:

extern "C" inittest()
{
    Py::Module test("test");
    Py::WrappedTypeHandle<Foo> foo("Foo", test);
    foo->add(Py::Constructor<int, long>());
    foo->add(&Foo::f1, "f1");
    foo->add(&Foo::f2, "f2");
}

...and you're done.
