I'd appreciate if you can give them another go. I spent quite some time in
the latter part of last year cleaning them up. On Fedora with gcc 4.7 now I
only get a single warning about unused code when I build them. If you're
still seeing errors and warnings, then I'd like to know what your settings
are and what your errors are.

I'm keen to have the Swig bindings in a place where they can be included in
distros, so if you're still seeing problems, I'd like to work with you and
any other packagers to get them resolved.
