I did test that 'yum erase yajl-devel' followed by a fresh configure
with this patch did complain on my F17 box; then reinstalling yajl-devel
let configure proceed.

Caveat - my RHEL 5 box (more precisely, the disk that hosts my RHEL 5
disk image) is currently in storage, so I haven't actually tested that
this works on that older setup.  Since RHEL 5 doesn't have yajl-devel, I
would appreciate if someone can test that this change doesn't break
./configure with no options on that older setup.
