SWIG. My experience with it is rather limited and from over ten years 
ago, so might be very very outdated so take this with a grain of salt, 
but...

It is one of those things that mere mention of its name makes me want to 
run away screaming in terror.

It might allegedly buy you multiple bindings for the price of one, but 
at the (hidden) cost of introducing an undebuggable layer of goo in 
between. That is, if you have somebody who can find someone who's in 
possession of sufficient amount of the strange currency required to pay 
for the one in the first place. I certainly never could figure it out.

Just my 5c,
