This is because octave_base_value::print has a new signature in 4.0, it
needs to be a non-const member function now.

You can see an example in the following changeset in the communications
package for 4.0:

http://hg.code.sf.net/p/octave/communications/rev/7df9c9337179

I then went back and added some conditional logic to make it work with
both 3.8 and 4.0 in a later change.

Was that the only remaining error in swig?
