+This example tests the SWIG run-time libraries and use of the
+%import directive to work with multiple modules.  However,
+unlike the import example, this uses templates to really
+stress test the type-system.
+
+Use 'python runme.py' to run a test.
+
+Overview:
+---------
+
+The example defines 4 different extension modules--each wrapping
+a separate C++ class.
+
+     base.i     -  Base class
+     foo.i      -  Foo class derived from Base
+     bar.i      -  Bar class derived from Base
+     spam.i     -  Spam class derived from Bar
+
+Each module used %import to refer to another module.  For
+example, the 'foo.i' module uses '%import base.i' to get
+definitions for its base class. 
+
+If everything is working correctly, all of the modules will load
+correctly and type checking will work correctly.   The
+example requires the use of the SWIG run-time libraries
+which must be built and properly installed.
