Ok, it looks like you are right, I just tried it on perl and 
t_output_helper was undefined. So aside from the #includes and the 
*_by_idx pretty much everything in the current .i file is python specific.

It looks like this library is sufficiently complex that there will need 
to be a .i file for each language supported, unfortunately.

We can still use the semanageswig.i to pull in all the headers that we 
are wrapping and put language specific things in their own .i file.
