After some testing on OSes with nasty sh implementations (Solaris)
this causes some problems. The problem is that if one of the variables
passed is in the for $variable/dir, this gets changed to $(variable)/dir
before it's passed to the child configure. This causes the error:
./configure: syntax error at line 1: `(' unexpected
Thanks to Aaron for spotting this.
