The best thing, in my opinion, is NOT to use CVS, but rather build from 
a snapshot.

Then, after you get the source code opened up, DO NOT run the configure 
and make inside the source tree itself, but rather do it in a separate 
build directory that you can delete and start fresh. As you observe, 
"make distclean" does not always get the job done.

This is detailed in teh SwarmFaq and I don't want to repeat myself, but 
suppose you untar swarm into swarm-2.2, then

# cd swarm-2.2
# mkdir build
# cd build
# ../configure --prefix=/usr/local/swarm  --with-defaultdir=/usr
  --prefix=/usr --with-jdkdir=/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.0  --enable-subdirs 
--with-hdf5dir=/usr
# make EXTRACPPFLAGS=-DMETHOD_FUNCTIONS EXTRALDFLAGS=-static-libgcc 
JAVAC=/usr/bin/jikes
# make install

This will dump swarm into /usr/local/swarm and you will need to worry 
about shared library paths after that, but it keeps your file system clean.

You should not need all the tclinc stuff you had in your configure 
statement, it will find it if you have --with-defaultdir=/usr
