+swig-1.3.24.patch
+
+    A bug was introduced in SWIG 1.3.23 and remains in 1.3.24 that
+    causes compilation problems with wxPython (copies are being made
+    of objects that don't have a copy constructor.)  This patch fixes
+    the code generator to use a reference to the object instead of
+    making a copy.
+
+    Part of my autodoc patch was disabled becuase a unit-test failed.
+    It turns out that the failure was due to a name clash in the unit
+    test itself, so I re-enabled that section of code in this patch.
+
+    Don't generate the autodocs string for a class if it has a
+    docstring attribute.
+
+    Some typos fixed, etc.
+

+This patch was added to SWIG's CVS on 10/2/2004 and a modified version
+of it is in 1.3.23 and 1.3.24.
