wxruby development - Oct 2006 - rakewx

With the recent check-in I accidentally committed my change to rakewx to 
remove the -fvirtual swig option.  -fvirtual is incompatible with SWIG 
1.3.30.  It''s not necessary (as I recall) for 1.3.29 but only reduces 
the size of the wrapper code slightly.  If anyone feels strongly about 
this I can make it conditional on the SWIG version but simply removing 
it seems the safest and cleanest approach.

It''s a fundamental change to the way SWIG wraps directors. 
I''m actually
surprised they didn''t deprecate/disable -fvirtual since it''s 
incompatible now.  It is possible there''s a situation where it works 
correctly I''m unaware of.

Seems like a good move to me, for the reasons you give.

I just committed a change to restore swig_options as an empty string, 
b/c it is referenced and changed later in rakemacosx.
