-----------------------------------------
Conditionally check for flex, bison and pkg-config, and dump appropriate error
messages.
> autotools doesn't barf (but fails) when some components are missing

> When some fundamental components are missing (flex, yacc, pkg-config,
> partial-boosts install...), thrift's configure.ac dies in non-obvious ways.
> In some cases it aborts with a MONO-related error (it complains about parsing
> errors near the 'MONO' token) or sometimes just halts halfway through the
> configure tests (it'll stop before running config.status and after checking
> for the slew of c functions.
