r11753 /trunk/autogen.sh:

#3939 "autogen.sh doesn't work correctly on systems where /bin/sh doesn't point to bash" -- fixed with patch from er13

This bug was introduced a couple of days ago in the fix to #3901 "Confusing error message when libtool is missing." The fix introduced a bashism, which should be avoided if we want to work with strict sh.
