If we go like this the next one comes and says if SWIG can interface Java, perl,
ruby php please add support for these too - it's not much but the little
configuration of SWIG.
Just to come back to my original statement ALL examples need a TCL Interpreter
for the GUI! To test with GUI and simulavrxx checkdebug.* is started and the
first this script does is starting a TCL script for the graphical
representation. Python was used for the flow-control of the start-up handled by
the script "checkdebug". checkdebug could also be shell-script if SWIG provides
an interface.

Checkdebug is a simplified frame of the simulator - it is like the main if you
like simulavrxx as a program. As long as there is no real "Simulavr-Studio" we
should not add to much effort into this.
