I use it and like it.  I don't have to dig into the guts very often, which is 
good because I don't like mucking around in C++.

You have to understand templates to understand the API.  The docs are spartan, 
but the design is clean so it is okay.

It's difficult to compile on new platforms, new versions of compilers, etc., 
but that's probably true of any C++ library that doesn't deliberately restrict 
itself to a small subset of C++'s features.

I use SWIG and like it.  They say that the new SWIG handles templates better 
than good old 1.1.

I haven't tried SWIG on Crypto++.  I would really *like* for someone else to 
do so and share the results...
