Bump SWIG requirements from 1.3.31

Greetings.

A lot of releases happened in SWIG world http://www.swig.org/ since
last update of ./subversion/swig/INSTALL that lists 1.3.31 version as
latest recommended. Are there any good reasons to stick to 1.3.31 when
there is a queue of bugfixes up to 1.3.38 ?

That's out of date.  Feel free to submit a patch to update it.

Trunk supports 1.3.24-1.3.36.  I don't know if anyone has tried 1.3.38
- it's possible it works, but it's also possible that it's blacklisted
for a reason.  -- justin

It is not about dropping support for 1.3.31, but about adding supportt
for 1.3.38  Currently 1.3.31 is the last recommended version and you
may read about it in
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/subversion/bindings/swig/INSTALL

"""
Step 1:  Install a suitable version of SWIG (which is
         currently swig version 1.3.24 - 1.3.31).
"""

I bet many would like to see 1.3.38 suitable as well.

FWIW, the reason we're still shipping 1.3.31 is that subversion's  
configure script complains about newer versions. ;)

Mac OS X 10.5 comes bundled with SWIG 1.3.31, so for me that's enough
reason to stick with supporting it as long as it doesn't create
immense pain to support it.  -- justin

All tests of Python bindings pass with Python 2.6 when these bindings have been
generated by SWIG 1.3.36.

That's bug definitely. In SWIG or in binding definition. I bet SWIG
1.3.31 won't work either, because 1.3.31 was released on 2006/11/20
while Python 2.6 appeared two years later on 01-Oct-2008

Even if bindings are in fact generated - I doubt they are optimized
for Python 2.6 or will work correctly.

Python bindings generated by SWIG 1.3.38 don't work with Python 2.6.
