"stable" part of the SWIG CVS repository. As this is an unstable
release, there is a pretty good chance that a number of features are
broken or under repair. Currently, SWIG is undergoing a large
redevelopment effort in which it is being converted from C++ to ANSI
C. As a result, the source code is very disorganized at the moment.
The SWIG1.3 series of releases should be viewed as transitional
releases leading to the eventual release of SWIG2.0. First-time users
should probably start with SWIG1.1p5 which is significantly more
stable (and includes a wider range of documentation and examples).
