Clam libs and applications are ment to be agnostic about plugins.
That's why the main Sconstruct does not install plugins. Plugins are
also ment to be developed by third parties without having to change (and
check it) a line of code of the Clam framework.

Thanks for noticing that the INSTALL does not say anything about the
plugins. I've just added a note in the beginning of the file. (revision

As said, plugins are not dependent libraries. Some needs specific
requirements, such in this case, yes.
