Yes, that is exactly what happens.

No, look at the SWIG-generated wrapper code, e.g.

    mITKDb = rb_define_module("ITKDb");

SWIG definitely honored his module name choice of ITKDb. What does
seem to have happened is that Jim then compiled the wrapper code into
a shared library named (lowercase) itkdb.so, which (as Joel as pointed
out) is inconsistently named. SWIG just generates the source code and
doesn't have any control over how you actually compile that code into
a shared library for use by Ruby.
