There's no reason why gen-make shouldn't do that, if it's the best
place. Anyway, the code generation would be don in gen_win.py, where we
already do a bit of that -- see the bit in gen_win.__init__ where we
generate getdate.c. Since the SWIG runtime sources never change (well,
unless you install a new version of SWIG), there's no need to generate
them during the build. I think it's much cleaner to do so before.
