Need swig 1.3.40 for Subversion

[David Rothenberger <daveroth at acm dot org>]

It seems that swig-1.3.38 has a bug that produces invalid Python
bindings with Python 2.6. I first hit this when building
subversion-1.6.11-2 for Python 2.6, but I dismissed the test case
failures at the time.

Today I built subversion-1.6.12-1 and took the time to investigate. The
Python bindings won't run when generated with swig 1.3.38 but run fine
when generated with 1.3.40.

Therefore, I respectively request that the swig maintainer update swig
to 1.3.40. (I believe swig 2.0.0 was just release, but I have no idea if
Subversion will build with that version.)

For now, I'll release subversion-1.6.12-1 with the bindings generated
with 1.3.40. Others won't be able to rebuild from source until 1.3.40 is
released (unless they manually build 1.3.40 as I did).
