I could go either way with the change to C++ class for CSOUND struct,
but regarding the API and testing, I forgot to mention that I think we
should also starting creating a unit testing or other testing system.
I have a rudimentary suite I'm using for testing the new parser
(*very* rudimentary, but lets me know if I've completely broken
something while working on the new parser) that uses python and csound
CSD's.  It might be nice to create a testing suite for each of the API
languages so that we have something to help know if things are still
working correctly or not after changes.
