personally, i'm a fan of having it continue if it can't find the
necessary files (and my experience with other configure-based apps says
that's the "normal" way of behaving, though i have seen some abort.  the
whole idea for using configure is to auto-detect what it can and just
live with the results).  but, i do believe it would be nice to see what
happened in a nice, concise way.  so, how about a summary at the end of
the configure run:

config.status: creating contrib/chat/Makefile
config.status: creating conserver/conserver.rc
config.status: creating config.h
config.status: config.h is unchanged
