[PATCH] Make ps format detection work on systems where we can't see root's processes.

[Mikel Ward <mikel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was trying to build PCP on a shared web host where I'm not allowed
to see other users' processes.

The configure script was trying to run "ps -ef" or "ps auxww" then
find "init" in the output, but since init runs as root, that test
failed with the message:
    checking for ps style... unknown
    FATAL ERROR: could not determine how to get the "all processes
with arguments"
    format output from your ps(1).

One way to consider is looking for "configure" rather than "init".

Works for me anyway.

Patch attached.

conftest.out (output of ps) is also attached in case we need to find a
different approach.

Thanks

Mikel
