Thanks for looking Mikolaj.

It is BUILD_DEPENDS. Here, as in some other software, dependencies
for test suites are checked in autoconf, and if they aren't present
the tests are disabled.

Considering ClamAV has fairly heavy dependencies already (gmp,
for instance) and check is fairly quick to build, I don't think
this is a big problem here.

Some other ports doing this, e.g. spandsp, have huge dependencies
which must be added at build-time to compile their test suite - in
those cases I don't think it's as useful.
