[pypy-dev] cppyy: C++ bindings for PyPy

the dependency is the main issue: for it to build, it requires headers and
libs from Reflex. Completely off (i.e. the module not picked up) could work:
there are only a few changes that fall outside of the cppyy module proper
(mainly access to the raw internals of arrays and a rule for .cxx in the
generated Makefile). However, I'm not sure what the advantage would be, as
the branch is regularly kept up to date with merges from default?

Best regards,
            Wim
