That makefile doesn't know that we have a gen-make.py. Since the
installed version of SWIG isn't likely to change often, you might as
well let gen-make.py generate the runtime sources for you (or, as I
suggested elswhere, just build the runtime straight from the sources in
the SWIG library dir, if that's possible).
