Thanks for taking the time to file a bug and create a patch!  This looks good,
but I'd like to see the code changed to test for all three commands and report
only the ones that are missing.

For example if flex and bison are installed but not gperf, the developer gets a
message about all three being required to build instead of a message about
"gperf" missing.
