#
# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AC_PROG_SWIG([major.minor.micro])
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   This macro searches for a SWIG installation on your system. If
#   found you should call SWIG via $(SWIG). You can use the optional
#   first argument to check if the version of the available SWIG is
#   greater than or equal to the value of the argument. It should have
#   the format: N[.N[.N]] (N is a number between 0 and 999. Only the
#   first N is mandatory.)
#
#   If the version argument is given (e.g. 1.3.17), AC_PROG_SWIG checks
#   that the swig package is this version number or higher.
#
#   In configure.in, use as:
#
#     AC_PROG_SWIG(1.3.17)
#     SWIG_ENABLE_CXX
#     SWIG_MULTI_MODULE_SUPPORT
#     SWIG_PYTHON
