PKGBUILD tweaks

If you want to build with clang, add this part to cmake flags:

    -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER='clang++' \
    -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER='clang' \

If you want to use bundled fuzzylite:

    -DFORCE_BUNDLED_FL=ON \

If you want to use innoextract (system-wide installation won't work since vcmi has a temporary? fork of innoextract for now):

    -DENABLE_INNOEXTRACT=ON \

@salviati: Why you flag this package out of date? There isn't newer stable version of vcmi than 0.96. Version 0.96b is a development version (not stable one). If you want use it please use vcmi-git package.

[Update without bump the pkgver]. Set MAKEFLAGS="-j1" in the PKGBUILD in order to avoid running out of memory during compilation, because some people have problems with exceeding their memory during compilation with more than one job. Better safe than sorry. This change doesn't affect the package (only compilation) so I didn't bump the pkgver to avoid recompilation for other people.

@bladedglove: Good catch. Thank you for the tip. With my 2 cores (2 threads) memory usage doesn't exceed my 8 GB. I think that instead of changing /etc/makepkg.conf I will set the variable MAKEFLAGS="-j1" in the PKGBUILD to avoid such situations. The compilation time will take longer (for me with -j1 it takes about 40 minutes), but at least more people will be able build the vcmi successfully.

To avoid running out of memory and freezing your system on multicore computers, set a lower value for MAKEFLAGS="-jX" in /etc/makepkg.conf before running makepkg -s. Compiling with "-j4" (forcing the compiler to use all 4 cores of my i5 CPU) resulted in running out of memory (8GB) and failing at 56%, but the "-j1" value forced the compiler to use only 1 core and the top memory usage was at around ~3-4GB. Of course, using a huge swap partition/file is also a solution, but that's another story.

@KlavKalashj: I've experienced freezing the system during compilation vcmi version 0.95. Even with the frozen system I was able successfully compile vcmi 0.95. For me with vcmi version 0.96 and with vcmi-git this issue not exist. I can only speak for myself, because the problem doesn't exist for me. I presume that this issue may that exist during compilation registerTypes. This part of compilation takes most memory and time compilation. I'm not vcmi developer, I'm only the package maintainer and I don't know how solve this problem. You can write about this issue in the vcmi forum. Here it is the related topic about this problem: http://forum.vcmi.eu/viewtopic.php?p=11612
