swig 1.3.38 induced problem

Hi,

Just wanted to let people know that the new version of swig in rawhide can 
cause problems for "make check"  targets. The problem is that swig now 
inserts module loading code that looks for shared objects in the same dir as 
the .py files. (Previously it must have let python figure things out probably 
from the PYTHONPATH variable.) The shared objects are in .libs. This leads to 
having to do some hackery for "make check" by moving files around and then 
deleting them again in generic-clean.  :)

-Steve
