Yes, it gives a warning. If this is a problem, IMO its is a shortcoming of the configuration system: failing to distinguish between simply optional programs and strongly recommended programs. There's a similar issue with tidy. If it's there, we want to take advantage of it, but warning the dev that it is missing is a nuisance. https://codereview.appspot.com/565620043/
