+            #2316 Remove swig.spec file and srcrpm makefile target. These are very out of date
+            and don't seem to be used by RPM based Linux distributions which have their

-SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++
-with a variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is primarily used with
-common scripting languages such as Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, and Ruby, however the
-list of supported languages also includes non-scripting languages such as Java,
-OCAML and C#. Also several interpreted and compiled Scheme implementations
-(Guile, MzScheme) are supported. SWIG is most commonly used to create
-high-level interpreted or compiled programming environments, user interfaces,
-and as a tool for testing and prototyping C/C++ software. SWIG can also export
-its parse tree in the form of XML.
