Summary: Preprocessor doesn't define target arch. ( __i386__)

Initial Comment:
SWIG's preprocessor, unlike the one in GCC, does not define the target architecture symbols, like "__i386__".
This causes includes of files which use those symbols to fail. 

This breaks builds involving "openssl", particularly M2Crypto, Python's interface to OpenSSL.

SWIG be dumped from Python builds:
