The Bacula cloud-driver is included in the Bacula source, you can find it
under bacula/src/stored/cloud_*.

It can be build when the configure script can find a suitable libs3 in
the system.

You where building just the special Bacula-fork of libs3, a prerequisite
for building the cloud-driver itself.
