[clam-devel] Issue Linking libcurl in SConstruct

[David García Garzón]

Note that the flags you get from curl-config and pkg-config does not include
-I/usr/include/curl so you will still get problems including curl headers. But 
this has a lot of sense. Curl expects the user code to include <curl/header.h> 
instead of just <header.h> which is a good practice to avoid header colision 
among libraries.

Regards.
David.
