> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Michael Lum

> Running bootstrap.sh invokes autoconf. Building thrift requires a minimum
> autoconf of 2.65 to avoid various bugs in earlier versions. Currently,
> autoconf just succeeds silently, but then the build fails, which can be
> confusing to users. This improvement will have bootstrap.sh check for it
> before running.
