Ok, I had a look at the source (though the tarball that I looked at seemed somewhat broken in the build system). This swig binding seems to be just one module - rather than a set of interacting modules. It is the support for multiple interacting modules which is in turmoil, so I'm hoping ming will work fine with more recent swig. Do you have a cygwin package of ming that I could test a proposed new cygwin swig package against?
