We can go to 1.3.38 first.  But is there a future in ruby-wxruby, in
terms of a live upstream that deals with swig usptream?

I don't know.  But it's been so long that it's no longer reasonable to
hold off updating.

I don't know, but as I understand it swig upstream is done with 1.3, so
the question is rather what's the harm in updating the swig package to
2?  Or does swig upstream consider them so different that both should be
available?

Does wxruby work with swig2?
