[Users] Calling ETK from a C++ code

Dear all,

I am a new user and have run some ETK tutorial examples. Before I
begin to do some coding and run my own thorns wanted to ask a general
question.

Would be in principle possible to call a thorn from a C++ code like doing

etk_calc(a,b);

or

tmp = etk_calc(a,b);

It would involve a compilation of Cactus together with my code. Or
there would be a way to avoid this?

To explain briefly the problem:
I have an N-body code which brings 2 Black Holes together and when
they are very close I want to do a relativistic calculation of the
final coalescence.

Thanks,
Jose
