libcurl provides a pkg-config file usually at /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libcurl.pc,
so you can obtain compilation flags using pkg-config command.
In SCons, it is just a matter of calling in the scons file:
	env.ParseConfig('pkg-config --cflags --libs libcurl')
and it will populate  the environment properly with compile and link flags.

curl seems to provide also a program named curl-config. You can use it instead 
of pkg-config if some of your target platforms lacks of pkg-config.

We are quite curious on what people is using CLAM for, so we will pleased if 
you want to explain what is your module/project about.

Regards.
