Avoid using reserved identifiers such as `_DOHINT_H` (fixes#1989),
fix cases where the name doesn't match the filename, and make the naming
more consistent and less likely to collide with include guards in other
headers.
Complete the prototype removal in ca1431.
The script prevents SWIGTOOL=gdb from working as gdb can't be used to
debug a shell script, it requires a binary.
Add support for SWIGTOOL in all the examples.
SWIG_LIB_DIR and SWIGEXE must now instead be set by all Makefiles.
See issue #473.
- Examples/Makefile.in rules use SRCDIR as the relative source directory
- ./config.status replicates Examples/ source directory tree in build
directory, and copies each Makefile to build directory, prefixed with
a header which sets SRCDIR to source directory
- Examples/test-suite/.../Makefile.in set SRCDIR from Autoconf-set srcdir
- Examples/test-suite/errors/Makefile.in needs to filter out source
directory from SWIG error messages
- Lua: embedded interpreters are passed location of run-time test
- Python: copy run-time scripts to build directory because of 2to3
conversion; import_packages example copies __init__.py from source
directory; test-suite sets SCRIPTDIR to location of run-time tests
- Javascript: binding.gyp renamed to binding.gyp.in so that $srcdir
can be substituted with SRCDIR; removed './' from require() statements
so that NODE_PATH can be used to point Node.js to build directory
