I just got those messages during `configure':
checking /usr/local/bin/fontforge version...

ERROR: Please install required programs:

(installed: 24da6b333d4e372800cc4470b2d2be37bf51a79)
If I say `fontforge --version' I get this:

trying default theme:/usr/local/share/fontforge/pixmaps/resources
fontforge 130117
libfontforge 130117-ML
However, saying `fontforge --version 2> /dev/null' gives
fontforge 130117
libfontforge 130117-ML
So I wonder why we are using `2>&1' in STEPMAKE_GET_VERSION. IMHO,
this should be replaced with `2>/dev/null'. In case there is a
program which really needs the stderr output for `--version' (which
program?), this should be handled specially, for example, with a
STEPMAKE_GET_STDERR_VERSION macro.
