[~elserj] -- thanks for filing this.

To be specific about the issue: I have libaccumulo.so built but *not* libhadoop.so, so when running bootstrap_config.sh, it's confusing to see "Native libraries could not be found for your sytem in: $HADOOP_PREFIX" followed immediately by "Please remember to compile the native libraries using the bin/build_native_library.sh script".

The issue is that "native libraries" refers to libhadoop.so in the first case but in the second case it refers to libaccumulo.so.  A small wording tweak is probably all that is needed here.

> Lindsey Kruper on serverfault expressed some confusion in bootstrap_config.sh's warning messages in http://serverfault.com/questions/790154/what-should-hadoop-prefix-be-for-accumulo-installation/790255
> Rightfully so, the script's warnings don't differentiate between what is a Hadoop setup issue and what is Accumulo setup.
> We can easily improve this with better error messages.
