swig-python and python{24,25,31,32}

[Michael Dickens]

Looking at the contents of swig-python, I'm guessing it'll work just
fine without any changes. It looks like what is installed are scripts
that provide an interface into Python in a generic way, providing
different code segments for the different Python versions. So, I don't
think it'll be an issue.

That said, ports that -rely- on swig-python will probably need to be
rev-bumped, because they will have a library/libraries linked against
the Python library of choice. Once the old Python has been replaced_by
the new one, the linkage of the generated swig-python libraries will be
invalid; rebuilding those ports should do the trick, I think. - MLD
