I was not thinking of AM_MISSING_PROG, but of the missing script
itself.

Currently, we have:

case "$1" in
--run)
  # Try to run requested program, and just exit if it succeeds.
  run=
  shift
  "$@" && exit 0

My suggestion is to add a PATH search for $1 right after this command,
and just bail out if we find it, without getting a chance to print the
warning.
