wxruby users - Aug 2005 - Can''t rake without swig

You can''t rake without swig now.  I keep swig out of my path so I can
do
a build without swig to be sure it works with the download.

Exception `Errno::ENOENT'' at ./rake/rakewx.rb:20 - No such file or 
directory - swig -version
No such file or directory - swig -version
./rake/rakewx.rb:20:in ``''
./rake/rakewx.rb:20:in `have_good_swig''
./rake/rakewx.rb:254:in `create_internal_swig_tasks''

Perhaps this will work better:

def have_good_swig
    begin
        version = `#{$swig_cmd} -version`.strip.split("\n")[0]
    rescue SystemCallError
    end
    if(!version)
        return false
    end
    return (version >= "SWIG Version 1.3.25" && version
< "SWIG Version 2")
end

Hm. I actually tested that case. I guess ruby on MSWin behaves a bit 
differently than on Linux when the command doesn''t exist.
