Internalcalls are intended for things inside pnetlib, not third party code.  
If the engine was built as a shared object, then there'd be no significant 
difference between using PInvoke and internalcalls (PInvoke would probably be 
slightly faster actually).

OK - I'll buy that.  Just remember that the pnet code is GPL'ed, and so the 
swig-wrapped version must be too.
