[vmchecker-dev] ./clean.sh seems to not delete vmchecker modules

Hi,

Today I searched after a non-existent bug for about 10 minutes, and I
know Adriana also ran into this problem at a point.

Say you want to test some changes done in a vmchecker module.
You call ./clean.sh to remove all vmchecker files in the system and
./setup.py install to install the recently changed files.

You reload the GUI, or just call the vmchecker service, but nothing
seems changes. The behavior is the same as before your changes.

apache + mod_python load modules in memory and don't reload them from
the disc on each new connection.
If you happen to stumble on one of apache's pre-fork()-ed instances
that had already loaded the modules you're trying to test, you'll
likely see an older version of that module.

Workarround: restart apache.
