AC_PATH_PROG: Using a variable for prog-to-check-for

[Harlan Stenn]

So what's the secret to using a (shell) variable for the 2nd arg in
AC_PATH_PROG?  I want the user to be able to override the default name,
as it may be suffixed by -32 or -64...

I've tried using:

 PATH_NET_SNMP_CONFIG=whatever
 AC_PATH_PROG([PATH_NET_SNMP_CONFIG], [$PATH_NET_SNMP_CONFIG])

and that doesn't work (with autoconf 2.59).

I'll keep digging, and if anybody has a suggestion I'd love to hear it.
