Description
The python variant of swig currently depends explicitly on python25, where all it actually needs is a python as the installed product doesn't actually depend on a specific python version. It would therefore make more sense if the dependency for the python variant was python_select instead.

A dependency on python_select does not make sense because it does not depend on any python port. So an installation of swig without a previous python install will fail with this patch.
I would recommend to create variants for +python24 and +python25.

It won't, python_select adds a symlink to the system python as /opt/local/bin/python and that is good enough to install swig and then nothing will break if python_select is used after to point to a different python.
