[Swig-devel] Use AC_PATH_PROG[S] instead of AC_CHECK_PROG[S] in configure?

[Vadim Z. <vz...@ze...>]

 Hello,

 Looking at SWIG configure output, it's not terribly informative right now,
e.g.:

	checking for java... java

Wouldn't it be better to replace all occurrences of AC_CHECK_PROG[S] with
AC_PATH_PROG[S] so that it outputs something like this instead:

	checking for java... c:/java/jre/1.8.0_11-x64/bin/java

? I don't really see any advantage in using the CHECK version, PATH
provides more details and should IMHO be always preferred. But I might be
just insufficiently versed into autoconf lore... Does anybody know of any
reason to keep CHECKs/any objections to using PATH?

 Thanks,
VZ
