I don't know. We have the possibility to clear incrementally the .i file as 
soon as we identify that some features can be supported by all languages.

Regarding the GIntBig case, as it seems that the 4 languages officially 
supported (Java, Python, CSharp, Perl) have the in/out typemaps for GIntBig we 
can probably remove the #ifdef stuff. (Ruby has no such typemaps, but since we 
removed it from the makefiles, we don't have to care anymore)
