+define Package/swig/description
+SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and
+C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is used with
+different types of target languages including common scripting languages such
+as Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl and Ruby.
+
+You don\'t need to enable this package to build packages that rely on SWIG. 
+Instead just add \'+swig/host\' to the PKG_BUILD_DEPENDS line of your 
+package.
