Bug#508832: gpt: FTBS if pccts is installed

thanks

(Cc'ing the maintainers of pccts and antlr)

pccts (/usr/bin/antlr) appears to be an older version of antlr, in C.
New versions of antlr are written in Java and installed as /usr/bin/runantlr.

Unfortunately, gpt looks for antlr in $PATH before looking for runantlr, so
it preferentially picks up the older version, which is in fact too old
for gpt.

Potential fixes seem to be:

* run ./configure with ANTLR_BIN=/usr/bin/runantlr as per the attached
  patch, forcing the use of the correct antlr (I can confirm that this does
  build correctly, even with pccts installed)

* Build-Conflict with pccts

(Side point: if the Java antlr is strictly better than the C one, perhaps it
would be better for pccts to install /usr/bin/antlr1 and let "the real antlr"
be /usr/bin/antlr?)

Regards,
    Simon
