As the summary says, skim is using CFLAGS but it builds only C++ code (as it's
KDE stuff anyway), the problem is that people might have C++ specific flags in
CXXFLAGS or might be using something like -Wno-pointer-sign in CFLAGS (as I am
O:) ), throwing lots of unneeded warnings when misusing the two.
Unfortunately the proper fix in scons is all but simple, I'm attaching a
workaround in ebuild that solves the problem.
If someone has contact with upstream, maybe they can fix that in next releases,
if it's not scons being stupid.

HTH,
Diego
