I'm going to toss a very slightly related point into this discussion...

SWIG is redefining how to use it's runtime library code.
At some point in the future, we will no longer link libsvn_swig_py with -lswigpy, instead, we will run "swig -python -runtime
swigrun.i", producing a C source file, which we will then compile and link into libsvn_swig_py itself.

In other words, what I'm saying is that the distinction between the swig-py modules and the swig-py-lib will decrease, as they will
both use (at least some) swig-built source.

This means that in the future, "make swig-py" will really depend on "make swig-py-lib". I therefore think "swig-py-lib" should be
designated an internal developer convenience target (like, e.g. "make libsvn_subr"), and that "install-swig-py-lib" should be done
as part of "install-swig-py".

In summary: To build and install the complete python bindings, "make swig-py install-swig-py" should be all that is required.

Max.
