[swift-users] swift compile fails on Fedora 13

We don't pick up the Qt location properly automatically yet. Qt
install layouts come in different shapes, but most distributions
provide at least a symlinked structure to the 'standard' Qt layout.

Our Fedora packager uses the following config.py settings last time i
checked with him:

qt="/usr"
linkflags="-lpthread -lX11 -lQtDBus"
ccflags=["-DBOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION=2"]

(not sure if all of them are still necessary, some of the linkflags
could be historical)

That's right, that option is only for caching of derived files (i.e.
ccache style stuff).

./scons force-configure=1

should do the trick.

Thanks!
