+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AC_PROG_SWIG([major.minor.micro])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   This macro searches for a SWIG installation on your system. If found you
+#   should call SWIG via $(SWIG). You can use the optional first argument to
+#   check if the version of the available SWIG is greater than or equal to
+#   the value of the argument. It should have the format: N[.N[.N]] (N is a
+#   number between 0 and 999. Only the first N is mandatory.)
+#
+#   If the version argument is given (e.g. 1.3.17), AC_PROG_SWIG checks that
+#   the swig package is this version number or higher.
+#
+#   In configure.in, use as:
+#
+#     AC_PROG_SWIG(1.3.17)
+#     SWIG_ENABLE_CXX
+#     SWIG_MULTI_MODULE_SUPPORT
+#     SWIG_PYTHON

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   AC_PYTHON_DEVEL([version])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Note: Defines as a precious variable "PYTHON_VERSION". Don't override it
+#   in your configure.ac.
+#
+#   This macro checks for Python and tries to get the include path to
+#   'Python.h'. It provides the $(PYTHON_CPPFLAGS) and $(PYTHON_LDFLAGS)
+#   output variables. It also exports $(PYTHON_EXTRA_LIBS) and
+#   $(PYTHON_EXTRA_LDFLAGS) for embedding Python in your code.
+#
+#   You can search for some particular version of Python by passing a
+#   parameter to this macro, for example ">= '2.3.1'", or "== '2.4'". Please
+#   note that you *have* to pass also an operator along with the version to
+#   match, and pay special attention to the single quotes surrounding the
+#   version number. Don't use "PYTHON_VERSION" for this: that environment
+#   variable is declared as precious and thus reserved for the end-user.
+#
+#   This macro should work for all versions of Python >= 2.1.0. As an end
+#   user, you can disable the check for the python version by setting the
+#   PYTHON_NOVERSIONCHECK environment variable to something else than the
+#   empty string.
+#
+#   If you need to use this macro for an older Python version, please
+#   contact the authors. We're always open for feedback.

+# SYNOPSIS
+#
+#   SWIG_PYTHON([use-shadow-classes = {no, yes}])
+#
+# DESCRIPTION
+#
+#   Checks for Python and provides the $(SWIG_PYTHON_CPPFLAGS), and
+#   $(SWIG_PYTHON_OPT) output variables.
+#
+#   $(SWIG_PYTHON_OPT) contains all necessary SWIG options to generate code
+#   for Python. Shadow classes are enabled unless the value of the optional
+#   first argument is exactly 'no'. If you need multi module support
+#   (provided by the SWIG_MULTI_MODULE_SUPPORT macro) use
+#   $(SWIG_PYTHON_LIBS) to link against the appropriate library. It contains
+#   the SWIG Python runtime library that is needed by the type check system
+#   for example.
