According to <https://cmake.org/cmake/help/git-stage/command/cmake_policy.html>, an important side effect of "cmake_policy (VERSION 3.11)" is that no user with cmake version less than 3.11.0 can use the latest version of UseSWIG.cmake.
Was that change intended (i.e., does the latest version of UseSWIG.cmake use policies AND CMake logic that is only available for 3.11.0 and higher)? If so, fair enough. But if not (i.e., the latest version of UseSWIG.cmake would work fine for earlier versions of CMake) I suggest you adjust the above VERSION 3.11 to the actual minimum version of CMake that will work with this module to advertise what range of older versions of CMake can use it as a replacement for the buggy official UseSWIG.cmake that they would otherwise be using. This reason this issue has come up for me is that I had to copy the 3.9.1 UseSWIG.cmake module to PLplot to give our users that use older versions of CMake such as 3.6.2 access to an important bug fix in that version. And that copy has worked fine for us ever since for those using, e.g., cmake version 3.6.2. So as a result I became interested in the official further development of UseSWIG.cmake module after 3.9.1 in case there were any further bug fixes that would be important to our users. And that investigation left me wondering whether that "cmake_policy (VERSION 3.11)" statement actually states the correct minimum version of cmake that would work with this module.
