Sometimes, you need to know which compiler you are using before
processing the hints. Currently, however, Configure.pl processes
the hints before even looking at the command line arguments for
which compiler you are using. The following patch clears this up.

Maybe it'd be nice to rename the module to init::progs, but anyway,
applied in r16416.
