I think it's rather non-trivial due to exceptions, smart pointers, and all other C++ stuff.

None I know of.

As far as I know Octave is written in C++, so there's no need for wrappers.
On the other hand Sage builds python wrappers (with cython) instead of generic C wrappers.
And Sage uses pynac (http://github.com/pynac/pynac) rather than the original GiNaC.
