build issue with AC_PROG_AWK

[James Peach <jamespeach@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I just experienced a minor but confusing build issue with awk.  
configure found /opt/local/bin/gawk, but it didn't get set in pcp.conf  
with the full path:

blacko:pcp-2.7.4 jpeach$ grep awk config.log
configure:4584: checking for gawk
configure:4600: found /opt/local/bin/gawk
configure:4611: result: gawk
ac_cv_prog_AWK=gawk
AWK='gawk'
awk='gawk'

Now, somewhere later in the build PCP_AWK_PROG is run but $PATH is  
reset. This means that awk isn't found and mysterious build failures  
ensue.

IMO, AC_PROG_AWK should give the absolute path, but something like  
this should take care of the problem:
