#405: xapian-config contains bash-specific code

------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 xapian-config contains bash-specific code which fails on systems where sh
 != bash:
 {{{
 build8st# bash xapian-config --ltlibs
 /opt/csw/lib/libxapian.la
 build8st# sh xapian-config --ltlibs
 /opt/csw/lib/libxapian.la
 build8st# Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . .
 }}}
 The expansion at eval-time doesn't seem to work in the classic bourne
 shell.

 BTW, the usage of the libtool .la-file can be difficult when the
 distribution policy excludes libtool-files. A standalone-solution of
 xapian-config without utilization of libxapian.la would IMHO be more
 compatible.
