Description
Currently, we need an old SWIG for MATLAB support (see also #290) but that version fails with recent Python. In addition, it probably causes errors when building the documentation with doxy2swig.
Therefore, we need 2 different builds of STIR, one for Python and one for MATLAB. These need to be installed in different locations of course.
This cannot be fixed until someone updates the SWIG Matlab branch.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the related issue #290 and the current status of the SWIG Matlab branch. Trace how the Python and MATLAB builds interact with doxy2swig and identify the separate installation locations required; done means both builds work with their needed SWIG versions without breaking documentation generation.
