Details:

The code in simulavr 1.0.0 that checks if the swig version is new enough is
faulty, resulting in the following error


SWIG version >= 1.3.18 is required.  You have 3.0.2.


as reported to the MacPorts project here:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44108

The problem seems to be that it checks each digit of the two version numbers
against each other without regard for the other digits. That is, it compares
the first digits: is 3 less than 1? no? then move to the second digits: is 0
less than 3? yes, so the swig version must be too old.

The version comparison needs to be done correctly to fix this problem.
