Ouch.
(aside: you shouldn't need that step, though. The SWIG-generated file
is included in the tarball. You can start from "ruby setup.py build".)

You need the Test::Unit framework. You can get it from

Hmm. I'll look into it. There's probably some way to tell autoconf to
add a prefix to the macro names.
