The top-level configure uses $() variables

[Maciej W. Rozycki]

Hi,

 In short: $() variable references cause problems with sh and as a result
such invocations as:

./configure '--libdir=${exec_prefix}/mipsel-linux/i386-linux/lib'

do not work.

ChangeLog:

2001-01-19  Maciej W. Rozycki  <macro@ds2.pg.gda.pl>

	* configure: Use ${} and not $() for prefix and exec_prefix
	references.

  Maciej
