We could probably also use libdxfrw, that we use for our import, to write DWG.

But contentwise DXF and DWG are alike - and there's more software that can read
DXF than DWG.  Is using DXF not an option?  Do you require a certain
version of DWG (the format changed quite a bit, although the content
actually didn't that much).
