Hi;
in Autoconf-2.64, AT_TESTED() only works with utilities that would be found
with AC_CHECK_PROGS(). Full pathnames don't work, so tools such as
AC_PATH_PROGS() that report a full pathname cannot be AT_TESTED().
The following patch should resolve this -- really all it does is preface a
"/" into the path tested, so that (ie AT_TESTED(@BZCAT@) where BZCAT is
/usr/bin/bzcat) the path "/" is tested, checking ///usr/bin/bzcat, before
testing /bin, checking /bin/usr/bin/bzcat.
