2008-10-22Add better checks and docs for build toolsPádraig Brady
Prompted by a report from Ed Avis: <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/14710> * README-hacking: Organise LZMA and Valgrind as as optional requirements rather than in their own sections. Mention bootstrap will now check tool versions. * README-prereq: Make a start on specific instructions for optaining build tools. Currently we just have notes for Fedora linux. * bootstrap.conf: Add the list of tools and versions required. * bootstrap: Add the logic to check for the required tools, and list all required tools and versions if any are missing.
