I've updated configure of both FlightGear and SimGear to bail out if the OpenScenegraph libraries are not found. SimGear has a simple check for OpenThreads and OSG version number and a more extensive error report. FlightGear checks for every required library separately. I did comment out some lines for MacOS framework users in SimGear because I don't think they are needed there. Please report if I was wrong.
