[Fluxus] scons library oddness

Ok, that makes sense. I still don't feel that scons made it clear that
that's what it's output meant. Clearly scons knew that there was stuff to
clean up as the errors went away after I satisfied those dependencies.

The dir I was working from clearly did have something to clean up as
I previously compiled that part just fine. To remind you; I was moving files
from one installation to another here.

Sorry. I likely flushed that when deleting the old install and starting
anew. As I saw it those checks certainly weren't skipped as I got errors on
those. The errors were correct as I still lacked some libraries and do want
the AR stuff, my issue is (amongst other things) that that I didn't expect
those errors there; I was sure those errors would emerge as I was trusting
on scons to tell me what I was still missing, just not those parts at that
stage, and not at the expense of cleaning.

I'm sure I didn't deliberately cancel any detection.

I maintain that if I tell scons to "clean" I expect it to clean everything
that was generated by scons, or -to put it in different words- anything not
generated by git. The behaviour may be correct, it's just unexpected by me.

Yours,
Kas.
