Actually, we should error out more gracefully than that. Maybe check for
the presence of the executable first and if not, exit out of the build
with an informational message that lz4c is not present on the system.
Ditto for lzop.
Currently, you wait for the whole build to complete just to see that
there's no executable at the end. Not nice.
