[PATCH, applied] configure: Enable the CTF front-end by default

[Dodji Seketeli]

Hello,

The patch enables the CTF front-end by default, if the
ctf.h header file and its associated libctf.so shared library are
detected at configure time.  That front-end can of course still be
disabled by using the --disable-ctf option.

	* configure.ac: If --disable-ctf hasn't been passed, test for the
	presence of ctf.h and then for libctf.so.  If both are found then
	enable the CTF front end.
