----------------------+--------------------------------
 MacPorts 2.3.2, freshly updated as of right now, provides a port of SWIG
 3.0.2.  The `swig` binary installed reports that it supports JavaScript,
 but the installation lacks the necessary JavaScript support files, and
 there is no "swig-javascript" port or equivalent (such as there is for
 Java in the form of `swig-java`, for example).

 Here is what `swig -help` reports:

 }}}

 Searching in /opt/local/share/swig reveals none of the necessary
 JavaScript files are installed by default.  Doing `port search swig | grep
 -i javascript` does not report any ports (nor does a visual inspection of
 the results of a plain `port search swig`).

 It appears the root problem is simply that there's no `swig-javascript`
 port to be had.  May I put in a request for one?
