If there is a Gtkairo backend for mcclim than I would expect that mcclim 
uses an ffi e.g. cffi.
If so I would like to have some working knowledge of how it is done and 
what C library one uses.
I mean wxcl uses wxWidgets (written in C++), swig to "translate it to 
cffi and also cffi.
But I couldn't find a folder like cffi in the mcclim distribution.
