I have heard very little about SWIG. I will take a look at it. The
PETSc program that I'm trying to encapsulate is far from simple. If
SWIG can only handle simple functions, it probably won't be very
helpful.

BTW, I removed the dynamic flag --with-dynamic from my PETSc
installation. For some reason, my test program didn't work (the first
time) when I installed PETSc with only the --with-shared option.
However, I must have changed something else because it worked the
second time I tried re-installing PETSc.
