Perfect, thank you! :)
Changed, `swift build --clean; swift build`, works.

Now I'm ready to fly.

I have no clue how to realize that kind of logic.
There is a `link` command in the modulemap, but a `link if exists`
doesn't sound like it is implemented now.

As long as you point the Swift users to the direction where they can
tweak this behaviour this feels fine for me.

But when providing OSS this really is a no-go.
At least on Linux this whole ./configure; make; make install; stuff was
created to wrestle down these distribution-depending things.
