 From UseSWIG.cmake
...
# To get the actual name of the swig module,
# use: ${SWIG_MODULE_name_REAL_NAME}.
# Set Source files properties such as CPLUSPLUS and SWIG_FLAGS to specify
# special behavior of SWIG. Also global CMAKE_SWIG_FLAGS can be used to add
# special flags to all swig calls.
# Another special variable is CMAKE_SWIG_OUTDIR, it allows one to specify
# where to write all the swig generated module (swig -outdir option)


Do not open a new bug for that, please
