OS-agnostic, but is C-centric. Is it possible to tell from a SWIG .i file whether it is destined to be C or C++? I can't think of a good

I'm pretty sure that the only way to do this short of parsing the file

to
run "swig" with no options and then (if it fails) run "swig -c++"

do during configuration then during the build.
Unfortunately swig does not fail in C-mode on an I-file which is destined for C++: The C-compiler will fail with syntax errors.
