[issue83] some foo-config programs accept --prefix=DIR, others don't => gnupg doesn't configure

[David Faure]

New submission from David Faure <faure at kde.org>:

gnupg-1-9-branch passes --prefix=DIR to gpg-error-config, libgcrypt-config and 
libassuan-config and ksba-config. 
 
The last two (from CVS HEAD) support it. 
The first two (from CVS HEAD) don't support it, which makes configure fail. 
 
checking for gpg-error-config... /mnt/devel/kde/kdepimdir/bin/gpg-error-config 
checking for GPG Error - version >= 0.6... Usage: gpg-error-config [OPTIONS] 
Options: 
        [--prefix] 
        [--exec-prefix] 
        [--version] 
        [--libs] 
        [--cflags] 
./configure: line 4649: test: : integer expression expected 
./configure: line 4652: test: : integer expression expected 
no 
 
Unless gpg-error-config and libgcrypt-config are fixed, the fix seems to be to 
simply comment out the passing of --prefix to those programs (what is it good 
for anyway?).

The .m4 files in libgpg-error and libgcrypt don't have this bug.
