It's a new feature in 1.3.0. We now bundle the generated *.swg files
in the Subversion tarball, so that users can build the Subversion SWIG
bindings without having SWIG installed. When you type "make
check-swig-pl", we don't remove the *.swg files, because there is no
way for you to regenerate them if you don't have SWIG installed. If
you'd like to remove the .swg files for Perl, type "make
extraclean-swig-pl". Python and Ruby offer similar targets.
