We do a number of configure tests for versions of various tools but we never
force the use of those tools at runtime.  We just use whatever's first in the
path which means that overriding certain tools by passing env variables to
configure doesn't work.  In particular, MAKE & ZIP are not propagated correctly.

Attached patch v1.1Splinter Review
The previous patch failed on msvc builds because we skipped all of the tool
detection steps.  Now we check the tool paths on all platforms.  Cygwin's
version of makedepend (from XFree86 4.2.0) fails when building dependencies in
activex.  It complains that it cannot open the directory
"../../../dist/include/string" for reading.  It looks like it's running into
that old gcc3 bug which caused builds to fail whenever someone included the
standard c++ header <string> .	For now, I've disabled using the system
makedepend on win32.
