SIP v4.0pre3 is now available from the usual place. If you are using it to 
build PyQt you will need a current PyQt snapshot. Changes since v4.0pre2 
include...

- SIP will now wrap C libraries as well as C++ libraries

- automatic support for pointers and references to base types (so much less 
handwritten code is needed)

- generated code only manages the Python GIL when it really has to (use the -g 
flag to force the SIP v3 behaviour of explicitly managing the GIL everywhere)

- added support for nested structs
