Message:

Exit from the toolbox command line if turbokid is not available since the whole toolbox depends on its presence... We could implement this better, we could do a lot of things... I hack it this way. It works and it will help people out there avoid the cryptic error messages I got that never talked about turbokid and only about Kid. Sorry for the long commit message, this was the first nervous expression of the day, other ones may follow. :p
