I have updated bindings/python/README.pythonbuild to reflect the current
swig situation. I have also updated examples/python/README.pythondemos to
refer to README.pythonbuild and also reflect the current install situation
as well as what is required to get the prova.py example to work.

I have also updated bindings/python/Makefile.am to a style where the double
and single-precision forms of the interface can be pre-generated.  (I
thought I had this before, but it wasn't really the case.) In the same file
I have also documented the required swig version as well.
