A way for builders to better provide the path of the OSKit, e.g., `--with-oskit=/my/bisarre/path`. + +This patch also contains a minor "fix": detect presence of the OSKit before trying to check for a correct version number of the same. It also updates the required version number to be, at the very least, the 2001 release.
