[m-rev.] diff: recommend doing `make realcean' when reinstalling from scratch

[Julien Fischer]

Attempt to make rebuilding from scratch with the source distribution
more robust by recommending that the source tree be realclean'd before
rebuilding.

configure.in:
 	Recommend that users who are reinstalling from scratch using the source
 	distribution do a `make realclean' before rebuilding.

 	We should also be checking for .c files that need to be rebuild in the ssdb
 	directory.

Julien.
