Reconsidering... I guess we could add checks for the presence of the required header files and libraries. I'm reluctant to do a full AC_CHECK_HEADER here because that will only succeed if we enable C++ in the configure script, and right now the extra overhead of enabling C++ in libtool doesn't seem worth it. As such, we could just do an AC_PREPROC_IFELSE here.

Just a note: If we someday add a recursive configure (a separate configure in the contrib directories), maybe we could extend it to a separate configure in back-ndb too.
