The link daniel posted:
https://typo3xdev.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/typo3xdev/tx_lib/trunk
goes to the trunk (current revision as I am writing this post is 8276).
The smarty connector is in the class class.tx_lib_smarty.php. I haven't
tried the latest versions, but essentially you would do something like
this (someone pls. correct me if I am wrong):

----
tx_div::load('tx_lib_smarty');
[...]
class my_view extends tx_lib_smarty;
[...]
return $view->render('path/to/template/file.html');
----

Does that help? Hope so...
Cheers,
Simon
