/bin/pr hard coded path in CVS 1.11 configure.in

Hello CVS Bug List

This possibly has been reported previously but having just run into
this and so am reporting it.

In cvs-1.11/diff/Makefile.in a hard coded path to /bin/pr exists:

  PR_PROGRAM = /bin/pr

This obviously does not work systems where pr is located elsewhere.
It should be found with configure so as to be adaptive with location.
I am not an autoconf expert.  But making the following changes will
allow this program to be found at configure time.

Add to configure.in

  AC_PATH_PROG(PR, pr, no)

In diff/Makefile.in change to:

  PR_PROGRAM = @PR@

Thanks for the maintenance
Bob Proulx
