Excerpts from Stephen Bannasch's message of lun dic 14 00:30:33 +0100 2009:

> How about a command-line option to turn the behavior on or off?

Actually there is the (undocumented) possibility to put configuration stuff 
into a ruby file with the same name of the swig interface file from which 
the wrap will be generated. For the time being I could add an option inside 
the configuration file to turn on char* => :string conversion. The default 
behaviour could be char* => :pointer.

Nothing that I'm aware of.
