> Running bootstrap.sh invokes autoconf. Building thrift requires a minimum autoconf of 2.65 to avoid various bugs in earlier versions. Currently, autoconf just succeeds silently, but then the build fails, which can be confusing to users. This improvement will have bootstrap.sh check for it before running.
