You have to add the includes of the .h and .i file to the directory
specific foo.i include file.  In the case of lib/general, the
file is called general.i

FYI, the top level source file fed to swig is src/lib/swig/gnuradio.i
It includes the directory specific .i files, which in turn include the
rest of the .i's.

Yes, they are.  That was the bug fix that ensured that only a single
version of swig was used to build all of the modules ;)
