Thanks for the patch. What do you think about detecting the path to
these commands at ./configure time and using that value, hardcoded?
E.g. using AC_PATH_PROG/AC_CHECK_PROG. This would also allow checking
of needed programs at configure time.

Either way, this should be fixed, I'm just wondering what's the best
option.
