Yeah, but that one ran SuSE and link failed because of libstc++ missing
or something like that. I shouldn't think it will cause problems if we
link to it explicitly. Shouldn't hurt to remove it either.

Which makes me think: new versions of autoconf come with much better
python support, don't they? Maybe we can remove some of our own Python
checks in favour of autoconf's. But then again, maybe better not ;).

That's SWIG 1.3.17. Others ran into the same problem. I tried it myself,
with the same result. So I'm back to 1.3.16.

I'm not sure about what's causing the problem, but it might be the
-makedefault flag not properly working anyway (which will add a default
constructor if none are specified). So a workaround would be to
explicitly add default constructors to classes that haven't them yet.
