[Clam-devel] IMPORTANT: more changes to build system

[Xavier Amatriain]

Uhm... let me try again: Eclipse CANNOT call just scons... period. It 
always calls it with a configuration.
Yes, I can call 'scons' from the command line, outside Eclipse but...

this is a big issue because one of the points in Eclipse is that it 
automatically builds and indexes
things as you work.
