Finally got it to work.  I figured I'd post it here for future reference on
using SWIG with MSVC.

There were a number of places under Project -> Settings that specified
debuging.  The one that seemed to matter was under
C++ -> Code Generation -> Use run-time library.   The default setting for
creating a DLL is "Debug multithreaded DLL".  I changed this to "Multithreaded
DLL"  Of course, this is after deleting a number of "_DEBUG" definitions
throughout the Settings dialog so I don't know if there was a combination of
actions that made it work of if was just this.  Now onto getting the rest of my
work done. . .
