gEDA-user: configure script patch

[Justas Poderys <jp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I'm using Ubuntu and needed to update geda-gaf, as version in repository
is older than latest released. Since RFTM'ing is not my strongest side,
spent an hour or so wondering why configure would fail, even though I
installed guile-1.8 package. Now it seems trivial that I needed
guile-1.8-dev. I made a small patch to configure script, that check if
user is using debian or its' derivative and hint that user might need
guile dev.

Cheers,
Justas
