configure in texlive tests for presence of dynamic ffi, and shows a
proper error if it is not found. in which case user can build the same
clisp-2.43 or any other version from source and supply the
--with-clisp=PATH option. this reduces the size of xindy source
distribution by 48 Mb, and in fact gives users more choice.
