[cable] Re: cswig/python inheritance

Kitware developers :

I hope that you enjoy your new offices.

Regarding lack of inheritance information
in wrappers generated by gccxml/cableswig :

In the the function void CableSwig::FindWrappedBases() defined
in file Insight/Utilities/CableSwig/Executables/CableSwig.cxx,
a call is made to bool CableSwig::FindClassGroup() in such a
way that FindClassGroup() always returns false, and guarantees
that no wrapped base classes will be identified. Here is a patch
containing a fix.
