Log Message:
Do a better job of detecting the error in pkgsrc/devel/libbson-1.6.3's
configure script, ie: $(( which is intended to be a sub-shell in a
command substitution, but is an arith subst instead, it needs to be
written $( ( to do as intended.   Instead of just blindly carrying on to
find the missing )) somewhere, anywhere, give up as soon as we have seen
an unbalanced ')' that isn't immediately followed by another ')' which
in a valid arith subst it always would be.

While here, there has been a comment in the code for quite a while noting a
difference in the standard between the text descr & grammar when it comes to
the syntax of case statements.   Add more comments to explain why parsing it
as we do is in fact definitely the correct way (ie: the grammar wins arguments
like this...).
