OK, so after reading this e-mail:
https://mail.python.org/pipermail/distutils-sig/2004-October/004204.html

I see that it is possible to override the value of "swig" by doing:

python setup.py build_ext --swig=swig2.0

I tried that for M2Crypto and it works.

Is that what the existing Python ports with SWIG are doing?
