The SWIG Ruby bindings do not build cleanly from scratch. They need an
existing installation of comedilib. So disable them in the default
configuration. They can be enabled with the --enable-ruby-bindings
configure option.

Add sampl_t and lsampl_t array_class()es to comedi.i.
...
Patch from W. Trevor King.
The old method only worked out of the box if you were running Python
2.1 on a 586. I imagine that is too small a slice of current users to
be worth hard coding ;).
This avoids:
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
File ".../mmap.py", line 96, in prepare_cmd
C.scan_begin_arg = 1e9/freq
...
TypeError: in method 'comedi_cmd_struct_scan_begin_arg_set',
argument 2 of type 'unsigned int'
With the previous implementation, `mmap` was importing the demo
script, not the standard `mmap` library module. From the docs [1]:
The directory containing the script being run is placed at the
beginning of the search path, ahead of the standard library
path. This means that scripts in that directory will be loaded
instead of modules of the same name in the library directory.
I'm not sure when this changed in Python, since the demo script
presumably worked with an earlier version.

This catches it up for the folowing commits to the comedi repository:

Added a proper PWM subdevice for comedi.

This catches the Python demos up to:
commit 003b9ec501
Author: Ian Abbott <abbotti@mev.co.uk>
Date: Mon Nov 8 11:01:42 2010 +0000
Add chanlist_len parameter to comedi_get_cmd_generic_timed.
This makes it possible to populate `comedi_insnslist_struct` for use
with `comedi_do_insnlist`.
I also removed my earlier re-typedefs of `sampl_array` and
`lsampl_array`. I didn't understand the reason for the underlying
`TypeError` when I added them. The proper way to avoid that error is
to use the `.cast()` and `.frompointer()` methods. See
`demo/python/insn.py` (coming soon) for details.
The comedi_calibrate.8 man page has been moved to the comedi_calibrate
package where it belongs. Thanks to W. Trevor King for pointing it out.

Here's a small patch to make the configure script compatible with Python
3. The wrapper itself (swig/python/comedi_python_wrap.c) will have to be
generated with SWIG >= 2.0.0 for Python 3 compatibility.
The 'go' variable is only used by the 'while' loop that reads the data.
We don't need to set it in the 'for' loop that checks the data
afterwards.

If the command does not stop immediately after the last sample, there
can be more data to read than we have room for. Make sure the 'while'
loop 'read()' does not overrun the end of the malloc'ed 'buf'.

When doing an out-of-tree build, the comedi_version.h file is in
the build tree, not in the source tree. The CFLAGS needs an additional
-I option so the compiler can find it.

line-lengths for 80-character wide terminals. Most of the updated text
supplied by W. Trevor King. Ian Abbott added a note that it only applies
when building the wrappers separately from Comedilib without 'make'.
Add "comedi_python.i" swig interface file which merely %includes the
"comedi.i" in the parent directory. Fix paths in "setup.py" and set it up
to run swig directly (using "comedi_python.i" as the source). Change
"_comedi.py" to "comedi.py" (but keep the underscore prefix on the .so
and .la files).
Based on a patch by W. Trevor King.
