[scponly] configure problems

the --with-sftp-server=path_to_my_sftp-server seems not to work
I tried scponly-3.11.tgz and scponly-4.1.tgz on Linux (SuSE SLES,
Debian) and AIX.

i get the following messages from configure:

$ ./configure --with-sftp-server=/mypath/libexec/sftp-server
...
configure: enabling core WinSCP and Vanilla SCP binaries...
checking for sftp-server... /usr/lib/sftp-server
...
checking for echo... /bin/echo
configure: enabling SFTP compatability...
checking for sftp-server... /mypath/libexec/sftp-server
checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E
...

but then "/usr/lib/sftp-server" is used in config.h
(on systems without a sftp-server in $PATH or the known places,
the configure script fails/terminates at the first check)

the second problem are systems that don't use bash as the default
shell (AIX). the configure script finds no sftp-server in the first
check, but the result is a empty string for PROG_SFTP_SERVER in config.h

as a workaround, I used:
$ PATH=$PATH:/mypath ./configure --with-sftp-server
which works on all systems
