The only reason we need it at build time is to find its location in

in the path, I guess).
Only 'recommend' passt during installation though, since it is not
needed unless someone is actually using it.
There is no need to add in a build-time "WITH_PASST" option (IMO),
since it adds very little to the size of the code - "PASST" (the path
to the binary) will just be set to "passt", so if someone does manage
to build and install passt on an older version of Fedora or RHEL, it
will still work (as long as it's installed somewhere in the path).
