./configure doesn’t look for gperf

[Georg Mayr-Duffner]

Don’t know if this is useful. ./configure went through but make complained about missing gperf.

@chemoelectric we don’t seem to be using gperf anymore, but we require its gnulib module (shouldn’t this added the necessary configure checks?), should we drop it.

[Barry Schwartz]

Gperf is used by the iconv support in Gnulib but its output gets included in dist tarballs, so users don’t need it, but anyone building from Git does. We should probably drop any explicit import of it. I’ll look into that.

Gperf is a very small and inoffensive program BTW. No harm in installing it.

I think this can be closed now.
