Summary:                    regression in 2.8.5 rc2: UseSWIG.cmake broken
Description: 
There are multiple reports (on Fedora and Debian) that UseSWIG no longer works
in 2.8.5 rc2 while it works fine in 2.8.4. For information, see:

This SWIG stuff seems to be pretty ugly (nor I know anything about it) so I have
not tried to reproduce the failure myself. However, I'm pretty sure that the
following commit is responsible for this since the failure is in the new code
added by it.

    Add a new function SWIG_GET_WRAPPER_DEPENDENCIES to UseSWIG.cmake
    
    This commit fixes BUG: 0004147 it directly uses swig executable
    to compute a list of dependencies directly from the .i files
    to make sure to rebuild the swig module any of its direct dep.
    is touched
