Actually... am I right in thinking that SWIG is only needed if
--enable-python or --enable-ruby is specified? In which case perhaps the
following would be better:


If Python Or Ruby Enabled Then
	If Detect SWIG Then
		If Python Enabled Then
			Check For Python
			If Python is found Then
				use_python = true
			Else
				use_python = false
			End If
		Else
			use_python = false
		End If

		If Ruby Enabled Then
			Check For Ruby
			If Ruby is found Then
				use_ruby = true
			Else
				use_ruby = false
			End If
		Else
			use_ruby = false
		End If
	Else
		use_python = false
		use_ruby = false
	End If
Else
	use_python = false
	use_ruby = false
End If


And then we could just ignore the --enable/disable-swig switch
completely. This strikes me as being a much better solution since the
SWIG detection is handled automatically.


ATB,

Mark.
