  If you are a previous user of SWIG, don't expect recent versions of
  SWIG to provide backwards compatibility.  In fact, backwards
  compatibility issues may arise even between successive 1.3.x releases.
! Although these incompatibilities are regretable, SWIG-1.3 is an active
  development project.  The primary goal of this effort is to make SWIG
  better---a process that would simply be impossible if the developers
  are constantly bogged down with backwards compatibility issues.

+ If you need to work with different versions of SWIG and backwards
+ compatibility is an issue, you can use the SWIG_VERSION preprocessor
+ symbol which holds the version of SWIG being executed.
+ SWIG_VERSION is a hexadecimal integer such as 0x010311 (corresponding to SWIG-1.3.11).
+ This can be used in an interface file to define different typemaps, take
+ advantage of different features etc:
+ </p>
+ 
+ <blockquote><pre>
+ #if SWIG_VERSION &gt;= 0x010311
+ /* Use some fancy new feature */
+ #endif
+ </pre></blockquote>
+ 
+ <p>
+ Note: The version symbol is not defined in the generated SWIG
+ wrapper file. The SWIG preprocessor has defined SWIG_VERSION since SWIG-1.3.11.
