./configure must be able to run everywhere, so it is using /bin/sh, which
ought to be a POSIX-compliant shell. Thus ./configure must be POSIXly
correct. I've tried to make it so, and it now works with both bash and dash.
I just tested with ksh, and yes, it breaks.

This all biuols down to one point: ./configure is not yet POSIXly correct,
and must be fixed.

Which takes us down to the other issue: allow user to tell ./configure where
to find some of the needed tools, such as:
./configure --with-bash=...
            --with-sed=...
            --with-awk=...

But let's discuss that on the appropriate thread...

Yann E. MORIN.
