#define conflict with swig

[jon]

   I've been attempting to embed both octave and python in a third program
using the swig interface generator.  Using the usual oct.h includes in 
an octave.i
file, I get

address@hidden:~/develop/octave-py $ swig -c++   -python octave.i
octave/config.h:768: Error: Macro 'DYNAMIC_CAST' redefined,
/usr/share/swig1.3/swig.swg:382: Error: previous definition of 
'DYNAMIC_CAST'.

   It appears part of the magic swig does uses DYNAMIC_CAST cleverly, 
and that
collides with octave's version.

   Is there anything to do other than getting octave sources, and 
rebuilding after using sed
to effect a s/DYNAMIC_CAST/_DYNAMIC_CAST/g on the whole octave source 
tree ? 
That would probably work, but make the project unmaintainable.
