-SWIG is currently in a state of redevelopment in which it is being
-reimplemented in ANSI C.  This work can be found in the SWIG1.3 series
-of releases.  If you are concerned about stability or are a first-time
-user, you may want to download some variant of SWIG1.1 instead.
-Caveat--SWIG1.1 may not be compatible with recent releases of certain
-scripting languages such as Perl 5.6 and Guile.  Note: These changes
-only pertain to the implementation of SWIG (the new version continues
-to support C++ wrappers).
