Ah... Now I see the issue... if we remove the swig directory from the
distribution, then autoconf will fail? I didn't realize that.

Is there a way to make the Makefiles in the swig dir optional?

Otherwise I think it is best to remove all knowledge of the swig dir
from the top-level files.

The code in swig/util/ is a library that depends on libxerces and the
header files, that's all. We just need a simple Makefile to compile it
- I added it into the autoconf files because they existed and it took
advantage of all the work already done by Xerces.

Maybe if we have a seperate distribution for Xerces-P, it can include
different top-level configure.ac and Makefile.am that includes the
swig/ dir?

Cheers, jas.
