 swig.python-docstring.patch  Adds "autodoc" and "docstring" features.
+                            See SF Patch #883402
+
+                            Also changes the "addtofunc" feature to
+                            "pythonappend" and also adds a
+                            "pythonprepend" feature that prepends
+                            pythoncode to the begining of a
+                            SWIG-generated proxy function or method.
+
+                            Add support for two new options to the
+                            %module directive.  The first allows you
+                            to specify a docstring for the proxy
+                            module, you use it like this::
+
+                              %module(docstring="blah") modulename
+
+                            And then when generating the
+                            modulename.py file SWIG will make a
+                            docstring using the value given.  
+
+                            The second %module option allows you to
+                            specify the name of the package that the
+                            module will live in.  This is useful when
+                            the .i file is %imported by other .i
+                            files.  If they are to live in separate
+                            packages then the importer can't do local
+                            imports of the importee.  If both modules
+                            have the same package name then nothing
+                            is generated differently than the current
+                            SWIG functionality.  If they are
+                            different then the package name of the
+                            importee is prepended to the import
+                            statement and the base class declarations
+                            in the importer.  For example::
+
+                              %module(pacakge="wx") _core
+
+                            Multiple %module options can be specfied,
+                            separated by commmas.
+
+
+swig.xmlout.patch           Fixes a couple problems in the XML output
+                            of SWIG: an extra "/>" was removed and
+                            newlines in attribute values were changed
+                            to the #10; entity reference so they will
+                            be preserved by parsers.
 
+                            Also, added options for dumping or
+                            writing to a file the XML of the parse
+                            tree *after* other language modules have
+                            been run (previously you could only do
+                            the XML output *instead of* a regular
+                            language module.)
+                            See SF Patch #864689
