No worries.

Hrmm.. This explains why I have not been able to build WrapITK today. Well I have 1.3.31 which is the version on my mac, and on the cluster, I get 1.3.29. Looking for release date of these I find

1.3.38 1/31/2009
1.3.31 11/20/2006
1.3.29 3/21/2006

I am lazy, how needed are the newer feature of swig? I don't like to have to build, and keep around more non-system tools then really needed. Too easy to get too many different versions of things laying around. Any ways it could be more compatible with older versions of swig?
