Just to clarify we do not copy *.i files or have duplicate *.i information
in multiple files for our particular swig configuration.  Instead, we keep
all the common swig information (e.g., the definition of our library's API)
in one large common file which is included by our relatively small
language-specific swig *.i files.

If you are unable/unwilling to use a similar organization (small
language-specific *.i files which include *.i files with the common swig
information) and therefore are forced by the above CMake limitation to copy
*.i files for your particular swig needs, then obviously the removal of that
CMake limitation is a high priority for you.
