Summary:                    ability to parse *.h files as *.i interface files
Description: 
Rather than writing separate SWIG interface files (*.i), swig commands are often
included directly in C/C++ header files. I.e.

/*---- test.h files -----*/
#ifdef SWIG
%module faunus
%{
#include "test.h"
%}

class someclass {
  ...
};
/*----- end of header file -----*/

The cmake UseSWIG module, however, allows only passing of *.i files (other file
extentions are filtered out and not passed on to swig). I suggest to allow for
*.h files as well. This can be done with a simple patch - see below. This should
be fine as one would (as far as I can tell) not add header files for other
reasons than this.

$ diff UseSWIG.cmake UseSWIG.cmake.bak
