So I guess we have 2 options:
1. Check for the presence of these libraries at configure-time with
CMake and skip building Kajonng if they are not found.
2. Add a runtime check for these libraries by trying to import them
and catching any ImportErrors raised, then showing a nice friendly
dialog explaining why Kajonng is about to gracefully shut down.
I honestly don't know which one makes more sense, but I know uncaught
ImportErrors are not an acceptable means of notifying the user that
some dependencies are missing.
