Problem is there are three likely paths: /sw/bin, 
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current
and /opt/local/teTeX/bin> 

I thought of a solution where configure checks an additional list of
directories when it looks for executable. Any time an executable is
not found in the current opath but in one of those directories, it gets
added to PATH_prefix. Could also be used on other platforms.

Just want to polish, not to re-forge :-) It's mainly the bitmap generation
for equations, some tweeks to output_docbook() and improvement of
the db layout files. Maybe enable the db classes even if no sgmltools
or equivalent is found (output SGML/XML still works, and you can use
the other classes without TeX, no?)
