alip/pinktrace — Issue #20: cannot compile without check

If `check` is not installed, the configure script fails with:

checking for check... no
configure: error: Package requirements (check >= 0.9.4) were not met:

No package 'check' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables check_CFLAGS
and check_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.```

Surely `check` shouldn't be needed for compiling the library, just for running tests. It would be much nicer if the configure script didn't fail this way.
