[Rivet] cannot use rivet-mkhtml and make-plots

[David Grellscheid]

Hi all,

We should add configure checks for these in Rivet. Then the herwig 
bootstrap would not have gone ahead and created a broken installation.

What's the list to check for?

ImageMagick (just 'convert' I guess?)
LaTeX
check for explicit LaTeX packages?

anything else?
