I was not thinking of AM_MISSING_PROG, but of the missing script
itself.
Currently, we have:
case "$1" in
--run)
# Try to run requested program, and just exit if it succeeds.
run=
shift
"$@" && exit 0
My suggestion is to add a PATH search for $1 right after this command,
and just bail out if we find it, without getting a chance to print the
warning.
