The SWIG datadir is already versioned, so if you would version the EXEs
then you could *theoretically* have more than one version at a time.  In
practice, though, I doubt it would work, as many packages just call
"swig" without leaving an easy way to override the executable name.

I'm not sure that 2.0.0 is as much of a jump from 1.3.40 as the version
numbers would lead one to believe.  For instance, Gentoo[1] hasn't
hard-masked or SLOTted 2.0.0, one or both of which they would have done
if it was really that much different from 1.3.40.
