Hello,

Job is almost done.
But for this to go, I needed to transform the error in configure to a  
warning (message for lack of msm)
So the question is : how can I detect the release build and die graciously  
if merge module not found ?
Or do I add a check in configure for VS * Express, and in this case go on,  
else die ?
