Description

(capturing TODO work in an issue)

The 'swig-py' target properly builds and links the wrappers. The
'install-swig-py' target is then used to install the buggers. It
installs the .so files just fine, but it does not copy over the *.py
files and precompile them.

I believe the proper fix is to iterate over
SWIG_SRC_DIR/python/svn/*.py and copy those to the target (by default,
$libdir/svn-python/svn/). Then it should run Python's compileall.py on
that target directory.
