Really.  This makes support on anything older than bleeding edge very 
difficult.

What do 'directors' do that GNUradio has to have?  In other words, why the 
need?  Just curious.

Sorry for sounding less than thrilled at the thought of having to go back to 
the bad old days of multiple SWIG versions (thought I was over that once I 
got up to Fedora Core 5 from CentOS 4).  It could be more than just an 
inconvenience to some (depending upon how old their distribution is), and 
that's why I'm curious why it has to be 1.3.But again, I'm just curious, as I 
didn't see much discussion on the list prior to this (or I'm just blind to 
the messages, one).
