Thanks for the link ! I have been doing basically the same thing:
deduce the lib path from the swig executable. But this one looks more
robust.
Anyway my work was not too much about system inspection, but rather
redo the user interface. The one distributed with cmake was simply
impossible to use in my case (mix of swig11 and swig13), and calling
'install' on a swig target was not user friendly...

Anyway thanks for the link, very useful indeed,
