Correction: using our official development environment lilydev,
they *have* always been there.

This warning is in the installation instructions, but it would be
nice if we didn't have warnings like that.  ../configure should
check it.  Fontforge > 20110222 even shows the status of whether
you used --enable-double in the version string, so it would be an
easy check to make!

Unfortunately we cannot (in good faith) require this until it's in
lilydev.
