 SWIG Examples

+The "perl5", "python", "tcl", "guile", "java", and "mzscheme"
+directories contain a very simple example.  The "GIFPlot" contains a
+more complicated example that illustrates some of SWIG's more advanced
+capabilities.
 
+The Examples directory is currently quite incomplete because it
+is being reorganized.  A more complete set of examples can be found
+in the SWIG1.1p5 distribution (most of which should work with 
+SWIG1.3).
 
+Note: Most of the examples rely upon the Makefile in this directory.
+You may need to edit it to reflect the configuration of your machine
+in case the configure script guesses incorrectly.
