Add sanity checks for old localedata/crypt add-ons

[Andreas Jaeger]

Some users can't read the documentation and try to use the old
localedata or crypt add-ons - and fail miserably with the current
glibc.  Here's a patch that adds a simple sanity check.

Ok to commit?

	* configure.in: Check for old add-ons that shouldn't be used with
	current glibc anymore.
