Comment:
I had troubles with distutils 1.0 and the way I use SWIG.
I couldn't find any support for the -shadow option and no way to pass an
extra include dir to swig (like itīs possible for the c compiler)

Therefore I wrote a patch.
It adds an extra_swig_args (list of string) option to Extension.
All the strings are passed to swig without modification, but
if extra_swig_args contains "-c++" or "-shadow" there is some special
action:
"-c++": behaves like build_ext --swig-cpp
"-shadow":
  Normally swig generates a file:
  foo.c -> foo.so
  In this case SWIG generates two files:
  foo.py (python shadow classes, imports fooc)
  fooc.c -> fooc.so
  With this patch build_ext can handle this und generates for foo.i
  (foo.py, fooc.c) compiles them and installs them.
