If something makes configure fail and return a non-zero exit code, it
really should issue error messages to stderr, not stdout. Those errors
and warnings generated by autoconf itself, and not manually implemented,
handle it this way, so I hope we can do this here as well?
(This would have saved me quite some efforts recently.)

ChangeLog:
Output warnings on FontForge or FreeType missing to stderr, since these
conditions make configure fail.
