Summary: BookCtrlBase badly swig''ed: several methods missing from
subclasses (like Choicebook#get_current_page)

Initial Comment:
The BookCtrlBase class (which was introduced in January 2009) that is the base
class for all the *Book controls like Choicebook, Listbook, etc is badly
interfaced.

I wanted to use the Choicebook and made a call to #get_current_page. I received
a NoMethodError exception. Sigh! No more luck with #get_page(#get_selection).
Looking at the generated source file (/src/BookCtrlBase.cpp) shows no defined
method in the BookCtrlBase ruby class.

I found that revision 1957 (8 Jan 2009) dealt with a compiling problem with
BookCtrlBase (removing ''director'').

After some tweaking I found the root issue of the bug mentioned here and the one
that revision 1957 worked around.

The C header file for BookCtrlBase just misses the ''public''
keyword after the beginning of the class. Thus all methods are private, so are
the constructors. Swig complained with the director statement because the
default constructor was private and thus not available.

Yes, this is certainly a late night bug ;-)

The patch I submitted fix this and re-introduce the ''director''
statement (to be more orthogonal with the whole project). Only tested on WinXP
32bits (MingW).

Regards,

Pascal
