Ok, sounds like you don't have the COM layer for Swarm itself.   To make 
that, it's necessary to build Swarm and Firefox and then edit the 
mozilla_build and topsrcdir values in the COM/c/Makefile of your Swarm 
build to point at the the object directory of Firefox and the top of the 
Mozilla source tree.   Then run "make generate" at the directory above, 
then run make in the c/ subdirectory.    Essentially it is 
self-generates a C++ library of Swarm interfaces, but one that follows 
conventions such that it can be called from JavaScript, etc. in the browser.

When I do that I see there are some uses of obsolete macros and 
interfaces (not surprisingly).  I can investigate and fix the problems 
if you're interested in playing with it.
Once it builds properly, then there will be installed in the Firefox 
build tree a plugin that has all of the Swarm interfaces, which can be 
called as in that demo you were looking at.
