I've interfaced PV-Wave to a bunch of different things (matlab, xview, users
C code). The approach I used was the server/client model described
in the PV wave manual where PV wave acts as the server. You only have to
write the bulk of the code once (mostly on the server side). The client
side consists of a few routines written in C. Anything that you can
interface to C (such as AVS), you can interface to PV wave using this
model.
It takes awhile to write the inital code (actually, the core of the code
is supplied in the PV Wave manual) but after you have it, it only takes
of a couple hours (or less) to interface it to product 'X'.
