The way this is traditionally done is to have a variable which checks for
the existance of a suitable program in the object tree.  If none is found,
then it uses <progname> which would search the path.

If you look at RANLIB_FOR_TARGET you'll see how this typically works.

I also think Robert Lipe recently checked in a fix for the makeinfo problem
that you could look at to see how we traditionall fix these problems.
