patch

I got this mysterious build error when I tried to build Weston (from the
git repo) for the first time:

    make[2]: *** No rule to make target `screenshooter-server-protocol.h',
needed by `all'.  Stop.

The problem was that I had a typo in my $PKG_CONFIG_PATH, which caused
the rules for generating %-server-protocol.h to be omitted from Weston's
Makefile (since pkg-config couldn't the configure script where to look
for wayland-scanner.m4).

With this commit, we emit a warning from the configure script when
wayland-scanner.pc can't be found, so that the above error (if it
occurs) will seem less cryptic.</pre>
