Hmm. The autoconf macro AC_CHECK_PROG checks for executables in the
$PATH only. The following patch should do the trick:

address@hidden:[1156] diff -u aclocal.m4.sv aclocal.m4
--- aclocal.m4.sv       Sun Nov  2 22:44:49 2003

     if test "${EMACS_test_emacs}" = no; then
       AC_MSG_ERROR([$EMACS not found])

Eli, please report whether it works for you. I'll commit it to CVS then.
