I like the spirit of the patch, but I'm having trouble getting it
work. I build in my source tree, if that helps you any:
% make swig-py-ext

 (cd subversion/bindings/swig/python; \
  /usr/bin/python2 ./subversion/bindings/swig/python/setup.py \
     -I./subversion/bindings/swig \
     -I./subversion/include -I/usr/local/apache2/include \
     -S./subversion/bindings/swig \
     -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/apache2/lib \
             build)
 /usr/bin/python2: can't open file './subversion/bindings/swig/python/setup.py'
 make: *** [swig-py-ext] Error 2

Here's part of your adjusted Makefile rule for reference:

  swig-py-ext:
          (cd subversion/bindings/swig/python; \
           $(PYTHON) $(SWIG_SRC_DIR)/python/setup.py \
  [...]

$(SWIG_SRC_DIR) is not guaranteed to be an absolute path, so cd'int
into the swig/python dir, and then running a script under
$(SWIG_SRC_DIR) could be ... well, you can see in my error above what
it's trying to do.

Awaiting your next patch,
C-Mike
