Thanks Axel for your improvements to FindSWIG.cmake.  The old version has
been the source of several PLplot complaints about not being able to find
installed versions of swig. Your use of swig -swiglib to get the required
directory information is a big step forward.

I tried out FindSWIG.cmake-2 on Linux, and (as expected) all was well
with PLplot.

The only minor issue I have with it, is I believe your success message does
not give enough information for the case where there is a choice of various
versions of swig.

Therefore, I would replace

MESSAGE(STATUS "using swig ${SWIG_DIR}")

with

MESSAGE(STATUS "using ${SWIG_EXECUTABLE} with SWIG_DIR =  ${SWIG_DIR}")

I hope the CMake developers adopt your improved version of FindSWIG.cmake
for the next cmake release.
