+  These examples/tests are for when the swig generated wrapper module is split
+between two packages.  Specifically the pure python part is part of a package
+and the C/C++ part is not in any package at all.  Historically swig has
+supported this sort of thing.
+
+
+  The -builtin option is tested as well because additional import code
+is generated by swig when it is used.  The builtin tests are for this
+additional code in the python wrappers.
