[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] swig: Add Config.in.host

Actually, "select BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_SWIG" does not need to work. If you
need host-swig from another package, add "host-swig" to this package
<pkg>_DEPENDENCIES variable. Doing a "select BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_SWIG"
will not give you anything, because it won't guarantee that host-swig
is built before your package.

But anyway, I believe that swig may be needed when doing application
development around Buildroot, so I'm fine with having a visible
menuconfig option for this. I applied your patch with a reworked commit
log.

Thanks,

Thomas
