For this one should probably add installation of the header files :)
Since the header file in question includes other headers of the project
it might be best to put the header files into a sub-directory and also
create a pkg-config file.

I'll see what I can do to add these things, I expect to push this later
today or tomorrow.

Actually, the original Makefile doesn't touch the offending file
SWMain.cpp, which means you just shouldn't compile it at all. It also
doesn't make much sense to add into the library since it defines a main
function.
