Is there a distinction between the engine running and the program
installed?  If so, you may want to prompt "No Engine running; start it
before continuing.  Proceed? (Y/N)" with a default of N (upon which
you exit 0).

(Safe prompting during module building is done with
ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt() or Module::Build's prompt method; not
sure what the Module::Install way is.)
