Thanks for the idea.
Just committed.

I added the check so that LOG_COMPRESS is properly set.
It seems fine in my config.log if I configure INN to use "cat":

LOG_COMPRESS='/bin/cat'
LOG_COMPRESSEXT=''



-dnl compress instead and others may want to use bzip2.  INN also needs to
-dnl locate gzip regardless, since it's used for compressed rnews batches, and
-dnl needs to know how to uncompress .Z files.

and afterwards:

+AC_ARG_VAR([CAT], [Location of cat program])
+AC_PATH_PROG([CAT], [cat], [cat])

+cat)
+    if test x"$CAT" = xcat ; then
+        AC_MSG_ERROR([cat not found but specified for log compression])
+    fi
+    LOG_COMPRESS=$CAT
+    ;;
