configure: do not require svn

svn is needed to download eglibc from the upstream repository.
In some situations, though, it can happen that:
- the developpers' machines do not have svn
- a LAN mirror has been set-up with pre-downloaded eglibc tarballs
In this case, it makes sense not to hard-depend on svn.

So, if svn is missing, just say so, and add a comment in the
menuconfig.

    11       The sstrip utility, to maximise the striping of ELF binaries
    12       (executables and libraries).
    13       
    14       Buildroot version, forked off the original from ELFkickers.
    15       This one is somewhat maintained by the buildroot guys.
    16       Supports big-endian systems.
    17       
    18       NOTE! Please read.
    19         sstrip is now deprecated in crosstool-NG, as it has a few
    20         shortcomings. For example: it breaks for PPC targets, it
    21         does not build on non-ELF hosts (eg. mingw32, MacOS-X...).
