+  NOTE: you have two options when adding classes so that
+  they are callable *from* python.
+  
+   - either you %include the header file
+   - or you re-declare it
+   
+  In both cases, you must #include the required
+  header file (i.e. the header file itself), otherwise
+  enigma_python_wrap.cxx won't build.
+  
+       In case you import the whole header file,
+       please make sure that no unimportant stuff
+       is wrapped, as this makes the wrapper stuff
+       much more complex and it can probably break 
+       very easily because of missing typemaps etc.
+       
+       you could make use of dizzy macros to ensure
+       that some stuff is left out when parsed as SWIG
+       definitions, but be sure to not modify the binary 
+       representation. DON'T USE #ifdef SWIG_COMPILE
+       for leaving out stuff (unless you *really* know
+       what you are doing,of course!). you WILL break it.
+               
+       The better way (with more work) is to re-declare
+       the class. It won't be compiled, so you can
+       leave out stuff as you like.
+
+
+
+Oh, things like "operator= is private in this context" etc.
+is usually caused by not marking PSignals as immutable.
