It's currently not possible to tell SWIG whether or not symbols should be
loaded into the global namespace by default. In fact, it's not even possible
to make the generated .oct module *not* load all symbols globally, due to a
bug in Lib/octave/octruntime.swg (line 37: "noglobal" should be "global").
It's also not possible to change the name of the symbol used to access
global variables/constants from the default "cvar".
This patch adds 3 Octave-specific command-line options:
* -global/-noglobal tell SWIG whether the generated .oct module should load
symbols into the global namespace by default. The default option is -global
to preserve existing behaviour.
* -globals <name> sets the name of the symbol used to access global
variables/constants. It is set to "cvar" by default.
These options are parsed in Source/Modules/octave.cxx, and written to the
wrapping code as the macros SWIG_global_load and SWIG_global_name.
In Lib/octave/octruntime.swg, the Octave entry point DEFUN_DLD function now
contains a expanded input argument parser, which uses the same command-line
arguments (-global/-noglobal, -globals) as can be passed to SWIG itself;
this allows the module user to change the default loading behaviour of the
module user at load time. The parser checks for non-string and unrecognised
arguments, and also checks that the argument to -globals is a valid Octave
identifier. A -help option prints a short usage message.

Removed obsolete methods from std_map.i and pyiterators.swg.
Added builtin-check target to python test suite Makefile.
Fixed using_namespace_loop.i so that the generated wrappers will compile.

Previously, invalid code would be generated for cases like the following if the nspace feature was active, but the split proxy mode not:
---
struct Foo {};
namespace Ns {
struct Bar {
void bar(const Foo &f) {}
};
}
---
Thanks to Johannes Pfau for reporting this.

- Don't mark a method as METH_O if it has compactdefaultargs
- In SWIG_Python_UnpackTuple, allow for a non-tuple 'args'.
Added compatibility for python versions 2.3 and 2.4. These are only
partially supported; inheriting from wrapped types looks problematic.
Versions older that 2.3 are unlikely ever to work.

SwigPyBuiltin_SetMetaType.
For %import statements, move the runtime import out of SWIG_init and into the
.py file. The reason for this is that the import must be executed within the
python execution frame of the module, which is true in the .py file, but *not*
true in the initialization function. Had to re-order the .py file slightly
to put the 'import' statements at the top; that's necessary to make sure base
types from an imported module are initialized first. If -builtin isn't used,
then the .py code is not re-ordered.
Added an explanation and workaround for the limitation that wrapped types are
not raise-able.

- Fixed naming conventions; SwigPyBuiltin is used a lot
- Removed use of std::vector
- builtin.swg isn't included if -builtin isn't specified
- Changed many feature names to use a "python:" prefix
- Eliminated static vars in std_pair.i
- Eliminated C++-style comments (//)
- Enabled autodoc and docstring with -builtin
- Fixed non-ansi generated C code
- Detect and complain if two incompatible swig modules are loaded
- Removed argcargvtest_runme3.py, and fixed argcargvtest_runme.py
so that 2to3 handles it better
- Removed anonymous namespaces
- Eliminated builtin_init typemaps; consolidated functionality into
SWIG_Python_NewPointerObj
- Eliminate printf warnings from %U conversion character by switching
to %S, which works just as well
- Fixed li_std_set_runme.py for python3, which returns set members in
a different order from python2

I forgot to remove it from the list when I stripped the (undocumented and untested) code paths for it, which was even before the merge to trunk.
