Hi Steve,

See my comments in line.

Thanks.

The configure script for swig package in sfwnv gate don't specify either 
of above two options. And according to the output of "make -f 
Makefile.sfw install", the building process did not use clisp. So I 
think there is no dependence.

I have searched the source tree of "usr/src" by "grep -i clisp * -r", 
and did found any other package which contains "clisp" keyword. So it 
seams safe to integrate clisp.
