Description

Currently make fails when being used on a rather bare system that does not have patch installed.

[...]
gzip -d -c ../../../../3rdparty/libprocess/3rdparty/libev-4.15.tar.gz | tar xf -
gzip -d -c ../../../../3rdparty/libprocess/3rdparty/boost-1.53.0.tar.gz | tar xf -
test ! -e ../../../../3rdparty/libprocess/3rdparty/libev-4.15.patch || patch -d libev-4.15 -p1 <../../../../3rdparty/libprocess/3rdparty/libev-4.15.patch
/bin/sh: patch: command not found
Makefile:1570: recipe for target 'libev-4.15-stamp' failed
make[6]: *** [libev-4.15-stamp] Error 127
make[6]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

The configuration phase should test for the availability of patch and warn the user properly.
