Enhance SWIGTYPE "out" typemaps to use std::move when copying
objects, thereby making use of move semantics when wrapping a function returning
by value if the returned type supports move semantics.
Wrapping functions that return move only types 'by value' now work out the box
without having to provide custom typemaps.
The implementation removed all casts in the "out" typemaps to allow the compiler to
appropriately choose calling a move constructor, where possible, otherwise a copy
constructor. The implementation alsoand required modifying SwigValueWrapper to
change a cast operator from:
SwigValueWrapper::operator T&() const;
to
#if __cplusplus >=201103L
SwigValueWrapper::operator T&&() const;
#else
SwigValueWrapper::operator T&() const;
#endif
This is not backwards compatible for C++11 and later when using the valuewrapper feature
if a cast is explicitly being made in user supplied "out" typemaps. Suggested change
in custom "out" typemaps for C++11 and later code:
1. Try remove the cast altogether to let the compiler use an appropriate implicit cast.
2. Change the cast, for example, from static_cast<X &> to static_cast<X &&>, using the
__cplusplus macro if all versions of C++ need to be supported.

Added some missing "varout" typemaps for Ocaml which was falling back to
use "out" typemaps as they were missing.

SWIG Examples
The subdirectories of "Examples" named after SWIG's language backends
contain a number of simple examples that are primarily used for testing.
The file 'index.html' is the top of a hyperlinked document that
contains information about all of the examples along with various
notes related to each example.
Note: All 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 incorrect settings.
*** Special note concerning C++ ***
The configure script is currently unable to handle all of the possible
options for producing dynamically loadable C++ extensions. Here are
the rules of thumb for making C++ work:
- Try using the C++ as the linker for the shared library. For example:
g++ -shared $(OBJS) -o module.so
- If that doesn't work, you may need to explicitly link against some
kind of C++ runtime library. For example:
ld -G $(OBJS) -L/opt/SUNWspro/lib -lCrun -o module.so
This can be set by modifying the setting of CPP_DLLIBS in the
Makefile.
*** Special note for SWIG Maintainers ***
When you add an example, consider arranging for the example to be also
useful as part of the SWIG testing framework. To do this, include in
the example makefile a target "check" ("check: all" is sufficient for a
first pass), and add an invocation to ../Makefile.in under target
"check-examples" (or whatever is appropriate). Later, we can add or
expand the actions under target "check" to do more in-depth testing.
