Yeah, that's better than -I. (hardcoding '/' as the directory separator is
a bit ugly but works for us, and I see catfile is rather eager to remove
'./' if it sees it.)

I think I was testing all the time with inside a git checkout,
that probably explains it. Happy if that's enough to trigger
the rebuild. Not sure if it still looks at file mtime stamps
and would need an explicit clean first?

It looks like the deprecated symbols will be reinstated for now.
Not sure if we still want to disable them on our side. Probably not.

In any case, I think we should still do a swig rebuild every
time as part of the normal package build.
