I'm pretty sure this is because the people who contributed to the SWIG 
docs the most are not currently using numpy.distutils (but probably 
should be) --- I suspect they were in your same boat of not realizing 
that numpy.distutils makes it easier to build packages that depend on 
numpy in general.
