Shall we bump the release.py swig version to 3.x for 1.10.x? Currently it
points to 2.0.12 which is over 3 years old and AFAICT deprecated upstream

How far widespread is swig 3.0? It is not in OpenBSD ports yet, but perhaps
those lack behind?
Can both versions be installed at the same time?
Ubuntu 16.04 ("Xenial") packages swig 3 (3.0.8) by default and swig 2
(2.0.12) as well, and both can be installed at the same time.
I have been building and testing releases with only swig 3 installed.
Now when I install swig 2 as well as 3, trunk 'configure' picks up swig
2, and build and test still works (just trying the swig-rb bindings). I
also checked it still works with only swig 2 installed, "just for good
measure".
Could both versions be supported by us at the same time?
It looks like we already do support both.
I suggest we change 'configure' to pick up the later version when
multiple versions are installed.
