[strongSwan] Cannot compile strong-swan from git

[Ben Greear]

Hello,

First, maybe autogen could detect this missing gperf right at the beginning and
tell the user?  Or fix whatever is expecting to find gperf so it sends out a useful
error with suggested fix?

After ./autogen.sh; ./configure; make clean; make

And now it fails here:

/bin/sh ../../libtool  --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc  -g -O2 -Wall -Wno-format -Wno-format-security -Wno-pointer-sign -include /home/greearb/git/strongswan/config.h  -L/usr/local/lib -o starter starter.o args.o confread.o keywords.o cmp.o invokecharon.o starterstroke.o ../../src/libstrongswan/libstrongswan.la ../../src/libcharon/libcharon.la libstarter.la  -lpthread -ldl

I pulled in master, re-ran autogen.sh and such, and it fails with the same errors...

Thanks,
Ben
