I'm interested in seeing your patch, but I must confess I'd like to
avoid an extra option. Using envvars only should be possible.

Yep, there are still many problems of portability to DOS and OS/2
etc. I, for one, am highly interested in improving the portability of
configure scripts to other arch, but, I think there are other things
to do first, then we will be able to cope with other environments.

Yep, I am interested in seeing how you handled this, but I want to
kill (well, major plastic surgery) AC_PATH_PROG, so your patch will
probably not be applicable (hm, is this truly English?).
Thanks!
