Add a short paragraph and example of how to handle the way Microsoft
recommends to wrap `__declspec` definitions in preprocessor macros and
supply them in a common header file.

Add python runtime test for dynamically added attributes
Attribute of SWIG wrapped classes instances were overwritten on __init__()
Fix SwigPyObject->dict memory leak
Make __dict__ accessible for Python builtin classes
When a SWIG classes instances is initialized, its internal dictionary was
reset to NULL, which result in the loss of any attribute that might have
been set for the instance.
Only initialize the internal dictionary on actual PyObject creation.
class Test(MySwigWrappedClass):
def __init__(self):
self.val = "Random Value"
MySwigWrappedClass.__init__(self)
p = Test()
print hasattr(p, "val") # Should return True, but used to return False
The following patch attempt to fix a memory leak happening when a
random class attribute is set. The internal instance dictionary is
created but never freed.
This fixes the problem for me, although I am not sure the patch
is correct.
<code>
p = MySWIGClass()
p.random_attribute = 0
</code>

Attribute set within instance of a SWIG Python wrapped class are
stored in SwigPyObject->dict, which tp_dictoffset slot is pointing to.
However, SWIG wrapped classes did not have a __dict__ attribute.
Inheriting subclasses did not get the attribute either because the
SWIG wrapped classes initialize the tp_dictoffset slot:
From http://bugs.python.org/issue16272:
"If a type defines a nonzero tp_dictoffset, that type is responsible for
defining a `__dict__` slot as part of the tp_getset structures. Failure to
do so will result in the dict being inaccessible from Python via
`obj.__dict__` from instances of the type or subtypes."
Provide a SwigPyObject_get___dict__() function to retrieve the dict
attribute or create it when it does not exist yet (it is normally
created when setting attribute set), and a PyGetSetDef entry pointing
to this function.

Appveyor: partialcheck test-suite
Remove appveyor debugging code
Add CI testing for Windows using Appveyor
Python 2 and 3 testing on Windows
Detect Java on 64 bit windows
Allow for spaces in path to java include directory and executables
gcc and mno-cygwin tweaks on cygwin/mingw
preinst-swig script support for native windows paths
Add CSHARPOPTIONS for users to customise C# compiler flags
Portability fixes for python example
PY3 fixes for import_package example
Update AX_PATH_GENERIC for spaces support
Add support for Windows in AX_BOOST_BASE
CSharp test-suite support on windows
Java and Python time out when running just the test-suite.
Compromise for now... run just partialcheck-test-suite, ie
test just invoking SWIG and not C/C++compile and run tests.
Fix when the _CFLAGS and _LIBS are provided and they contain a space
For example:
./configure PCRE_LIBS='-L/home/me/pcre/lib -lpcre'
