libkml-1.0.0-alpha won't generate python bindings with latest SWIG package

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install latest swig package: 1.3.36
2. run ./configure for libkml-1.0.0-alpha

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected SWIG bindings for python, got error message instead:

WARNING: You have SWIG 1.3.36 installed, but libkml requires SWIG 1.3.35.
The bindings will not be built. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
libkml-1.0.0-alpha on Ubuntu 8.10

Did you run the unit test suite that comes with the project? Did all tests
pass?

Originally no bindings were generated, modified configure file and bindings
built, passed kmldom_test.py kmlbase_test.py and kmlengine_test.py

Please provide any additional information below.

Changed line 21349 in the configure file from:

    if test $SWIG_VERSION != 1.3.35; then

to:

    if test $SWIG_VERSION <= 1.3.35; then

which seems to have worked.
