Detection of SWIG and MapScript languages by configure
This is a tracking bug for the detection of SWIG and of MapScript language
dependencies by the configure script and automation of the builds via Makefiles.
Please do not include language-specific details here. Individual bugs should be
created for the specific dependencies of each language and linked from here.

I agree with Howard that the best place to start would be to document
the requirements for each MapScript flavour in separate bugs, then once
we have sorted out the details I could try to help with the configure.in
updates.
A few questions to address:
1- How to detect SWIG, is it enough to look for the swig executable and
test its version? Also which version is required as a minimum?
2- Do we want the main Makefile automatically build all the enabled SWIG
bindings the same way that PHP MapScript is currently built
automatically by the main Makefile when it is enabled? I would think the
answer is yes, but we need to agree on that.
3- Then for each supported language, we need:
- Makefile template, including targets for default build and for
install (optionally a 'make test' too)
- List of dependencies to detect (e.g. /usr/bin/mcs for MONO?)
- Required version(s) of dependencies
