Summary: "make" prints warnings if Subversion is not installed

Initial Comment:
Our Makefile.common invokes the "svn" command without checking whether it is even installed. Hence I get this warning when doing "make" without subversion installed:

/bin/sh: svn: command not found

That's bad and ugly; much better to have a test for whether SVN is even installed, and usable with the checkout. For example, I have a ScummVM checkout on a NFS shared home volume, and use it on multiple machines, some with and some without SVN, and some with ancient SVN versions.
