It won't be for another few weeks at least.  I need to make some time and just 
get it done.  I've heard back from the openDWG consortium (the wrapper uses 
their toolkit) and they were receptive to hosting the distribution provided 
that the licensing respects their toolkit license.

It will be a modified artistic license.  In short:  you can change, modify, 
whatever the wrapper as long as you make the source (*.c, *.h) files and the 
swig interface file available under the same license.  The license for the 
wrapper will be independent of the toolkit (and the toolkit will have to be 
obtained through openDWG and under the terms of their license.)

It currently only gives access to (mostly) 2D entities, but it is much better 
than trying to generate a dxf file (and the dxf's are hard to handle with 
ACAD when you get to the larger filesize (some 70,000 circles take FOREVER to 
load from dxf but load from dwg in seconds.))
