Swig 3.0.6 fixed the problem that was being seen, so I'll take a look at
it from the subversion side again.  I may be able to just enable swig
3.0 as long as it's >= 3.0.6.

I think they could be shipped but shouldn't.

For one swig 2.0 it not maintained upstream anymore.
The other thing is that swig 3.0 should be usable to build subversion,
so I have to get this fixed instead of using swig 2.0 as the way out.

Not everything that worked with swig2.0 works with swig3.0 (e.g.,
subversion's swig bindings).  Why can't both be shipped?

Control: severity -1 serious
Control: retitle -1 Remove swig 2.0 for Strech (python 3.5, octave 4.0 
unsupported)

As seen in #802906, this now becomes an RC issue, as Python 3.5 is a supported 
Python version, and is not anymore supported by swig 2.0.


Same for octave 4.0, and maybe other languages.
