Request: configure script switch to build libprotobuf_c only

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Trying to build libprotobuf_c only in a cross-compilation setting for an
embedded target for which there is no interest in building the compiler. 

Would like to have a switch to configure script, e.g. --libonly, which then
doesn't check for availability of protobuf compiler etc.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
libprotobuf-c-0.11 on Fedora core 10 host system. Target is OpenWRT which
runs on several embedded systems.

Please provide any additional information below.
A patch for configure, which solves the problem in a haphazardly way, is
attached. Not the correct solution I'm afraid. I'm not autoconf-proficient
enough to provide the correct solution...

In subversion (headed for protobuf-c 0.13) I added a configure option 
--disable-protoc 
which does what you want. (hopefully)

Great! I did a quick test and it seems to work as intended. Thanks!
