+Determines whether libjit is present is installed and functional on the system.
+It is OK when it doesn't exist.
+
+The libjit library implements just-in-time compilation functionality. Unlike
+other JITs, this one is designed to be independent of any particular virtual
+machine bytecode format or language. 
+
+libjit can be obtained from L<http://freshmeat.net/projects/libjit/> or through
+your distribution's package manager. Developer documentation is available from
+L<http://www.gnu.org/software/dotgnu/libjit-doc/libjit.html>
