I agree that if --without-swig is passwed to configure, it shouldn't
check SWIG version for SWIG Python bindings even if the user want
to build Python bindings. Configure script also check SWIG version
for Ruby bindings. But its check concerns that SWIG_VERSION is empty,
so it's no problem.

The patch attached address only for the case --without-swig.

However I also want to fix still existiong problems below:

* When environment variable PYTHON is set for make check, configure also
 treat it as a target of Python bindings, regardlessly the user really
 want to build Python bindings or not. It is also check if py3c.h
 is available.

* If SWIG generated Python bindings source files already exist on
 configure and its target Python version is different from the target
 provided for configure, force to regenerate bindings source files.

Cheers,
