#2666: configure should fail "noisly" if SQLPP variable can not be determined

 Reporter:  philross  |       Owner:  pramsey      
     Type:  defect    |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  medium    |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.1.2
Component:  postgis   |     Version:  2.1.x        
 Keywords:            |  
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
 The configure script currently does not fail when SQLPP is unable to be
 determined.  After the configure script runs, compiler info is printed and
 SQL preprocessor is blank, but attempting to compile fails because the
 SQLPP variable is not populated.

 Currently, this happens on Solaris11 when the cpp command is not located
 in the PATH.  By default, on Solaris11, the patch contains /usr/bin which
 is able to find /usr/bin/gcc which is a symlink to /usr/gcc/4.5/bin/gcc,
 but there is no corresponding /usr/bin/cpp pointing to
 /usr/gcc/4.5/bin/cpp.  When /usr/gcc/4.5/bin is not in the PATH, the SQLPP
 variable is not set when configure runs, which leads to failures during
 compile time.
