The check for IPC::Run we added in commit c254970ad is useful in simple cases, but there are real use-cases where "prove" is coming from a different Perl installation than the "perl" we want to use to build. In such cases asking whether "perl" knows about IPC::Run is irrelevant and can cause an unnecessary configure failure. Hence, if user has specified a value for PROVE, skip the IPC::Run check. Per discussion with Andrew Dunstan. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/E1dcE5n-0005Sk-UE@gemulon.postgresql.org
