Thanks David.

I downloaded Swami, and tried to build it, but got some errors (it looks like 
an object file is not being linked).  I sent a message about this to the 
swami-devel list but have not recieved anything back.  Here is a brief 
snippet of make output:


SwamiUIGenGraph.o: In function `swamiui_gengraph_update_control':

Any ideas?
