libmatroska - API

It should be possible to use libmatroska from many languages.

Currently there is the following languages supported :

• standard C (early alpha), supported platforms so far :
  • win32 (DLL & static library)
  • cygwin (shared object & static lib)
  • linux (shared object & static lib)
• standard C++ (based on the C API) (too early)
• COM object (through DirectShow?) (too early, see Ingo Ralf Blum)

Most API support should be based on the C API as it is the most portable one and it is included in the core of the library.

Other API should either call the standard libmatroska (using the C API) or creating a new module compiled with the C++ core of the library, but using a different name than the standard one.

Other API could become official and so be located in /src/api/<language> of the CVS source tree.
