This would be different from AC_PROG_{F77,FC} which both do not set
their variables when the compiler isn't found, and from AC_PROG_CC,
which AC_MSG_FAILUREs when no C compiler isn't found.  Also, the change
does not take into account that the macros may use the compiler name for
subsequent tests: whether this is the GNU compiler, and if the first
compiler macro, the values of OBJEXT and EXEEXT.  Calling a program
named 'no' for that purpose is not an improvement.

I don't have any idea for the CC on w32 issue, however.

Cheers,
Ralf
