I suspect that decision was made years ago, when /usr/local/bin
was put on the path - the intention there is fairly clear, even
if the original rationale is lost in the mists of time.
If configure is going off looking in these places for binaries,
then I guess we kinda have to have them on the path... (I don't
think hardcoded full-pathnames thing is gonna fly, as a general
solution to this class of problem).
