An alternative solution is to use customization, wrap the class and use
virtuals.  This is more work, but is probably most efficient.  You can
automate the wrapping with a makefile that has some generic rules and
possibly auto-generate the wrappers with some template code (not a C++
template, but like 'Makefile.in', etc).

Fwiw,
