Description

./configure on a machine with ant 1.6 successfully runs, even though it's required for the Java build step - otherwise you get

BUILD FAILED
/home/henry/thrift-0.2.0/lib/java/build.xml:86: Class org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ConditionTask doesn't support the nested "typefound" element.

Upgrading to ant 1.7.1 fixed the build failure, but would be nice if configure gave a clue.
