* acgeneral.m4 (AC_CHECK_PROG, AC_PATH_PROG): Assign the path to

	ac_dummy and then expand it, rather than simply tacking on
	$ac_dummy to the path.  This works around POSIX.2 word splitting
	semantics, in which even things like a:b:c:$PATH don't get
	word-split as you might expect on a pre-POSIX shell.
