I think we'd have a subversion-swig-bindings-1.0.x.tar.gz package.
Other then that there's the javahl bindigs and com bindings.
Only the former seems to be maintained. The java swig bindings don't
seem to be maintained either. I think we should delete the bindings
that aren't being maintained and put a place holder like the ruby
bindings. If someone wants to resurrect them they can always cp the old
versions and start working on them again.

So really that means we're down to perl, python and javahl bindings. We
could probably easily release those as separate tarballs. We could have
a directory in our repo for the shared files and use svn:externals to
pull it in..

I don't know there are several ways to handle this. We just need to put
our heads together and figure out what makes the most sense.
