5074	Check for existence of automake, autoconf in bootstrap.sh	ayleph		If someone executes `./bootstrap.sh` without `automake` and `autoconf` installed, the system will print warnings about the files not being found then proceed to the git submodule commands whose output floods the terminal and may prevent the user from seeing the previous error output. Then the user is confused why there is no `configure`. I think we should update `bootstrap.sh` to check for the presence of `automake` and `autoconf` with `which` commands and terminate the script with an error message if one isn't found, rather than continuing wit git submodule actions.	enhancement	closed	minor	0.8.0	programming	fixed	bootstraph,automake,autoconf
