Yes, if it can be done through the one-liner by Ralf and my other
configure.ac patch today, that is simpler.

If you include help2man in build-aux/, you need also to change configure.ac:
replace

      AM_MISSING_PROG(HELP2MAN, help2man)

with

      ac_aux_dir_abs=`cd $ac_aux_dir && pwd`
      AC_PATH_PROG(PERL, perl, $ac_aux_dir_abs/missing perl)

(Maybe AM_MISSING_PROG(PERL, perl) does the same? I didn't try it.)
