I wonder if for this particular purpose SWIG isn't the better match. (If SWIG weren't universally hated, even by its original author. :-)
SWIG is nice when you control the C/C++ side of the API as well and can tweak it to be SWIG-friendly. I shudder at the idea of using it to wrap arbitrary C++ code, though.
That said, the idea of using SWIG to emit Cython code rather than C/API code may be one well worth exploring.
Cheers, Nick.
