Patch to configure.ac to check libudev version >= 142

It appears that at least version 142 of udev is required to properly support
the recently added uevent code. Haven't tested with 142 because I don't want to
mess up my distro Fedora 11. This only has 141. However, everything is usable
if the driver thinks you don't have udev at all. Hence the attached patch.

Best Wishes,

Bob Gleitsmann
