objidl - OO wrappers for libIDL


I wrote this because I got a bit bored with writing ORBit-C++'s idl
compiler in C. I wanted to be able to do idl compilation in python
using the visitor pattern. 

As part of this exercise, I also created cpp bindings for libIDL to
provide a more OO api as the interface for the python bindings. The
ORBit-C++ bindings will probably end up being written in C++
eventually anyway so I thought this was quite a productive use of my
time.


- libIDL api is wrapped in C++ classes.
- The C++ classes are wrapped in python using swig.


Hopefully the interface is good enough so that perl and scheme
bindings can also be written in the future.
