Summary: Error in configure on MacOS X

Initial Comment:
CVS version from December 16, 2007.

configure --help fails on MacOS X (10.4) on the engines help part. It displays error (see below) qnd then the names of the flag to build or not the engines are missing.

The error message is:

% ./configure --help
Running ScummVM configure...
head: illegal option -- c
Usage: head [-n lines] [file ...]
head: illegal option -- c
Usage: head [-n lines] [file ...]
... (17 more times)

Usage: ./configure [OPTIONS]...

Configuration:
  -h, --help             display this help and exit
  --backend=BACKEND      backend to build (sdl, x11, morphos, dc, gp32, gp2x, iphone, null) [sdl]

Installation directories:
  --prefix=DIR           use this prefix for installing ScummVM [/usr/local]
  --bindir=DIR           directory to install the scummvm binary in [PREFIX/bin]
  --mandir=DIR           directory to install the manpage in [PREFIX/man]
  --datadir=DIR          directory to install the data files in [PREFIX/share]

Special configuration feature:
  --host=HOST            cross-compile to target HOST (arm-linux, ...)
                         special targets: linupy for Yopy PDA

Optional Features:
  --disable-debug          disable building with debugging symbols
  --enable-Werror          treat warnings as errors
    don't build the SCUMM engine
    exclude the v7 & v8 games in SCUMM engine
    exclude the HE70+ games in SCUMM engine
    don't build the AGI engine
    don't build the AGOS engine
    don't build the Cinematique evo 1 engine
    build the Cinematique evo 2 engine
    build the Drascula: The Vampire Strikes Back engine
    don't build the Gobli*ns engine
    build the Igor: Objective Uikokahonia engine
    don't build the Legend of Kyrandia engine
    don't build the Lure of the Temptress engine
    don't build the Parallaction engine
    don't build the Flight of the Amazon Queen engine
    don't build the SAGA engine
    don't build the Beneath a Steel Sky engine
    don't build the Broken Sword 1 engine
    don't build the Broken Sword 2 engine
    don't build the Touche: The Adventures of the Fifth Musketeer engine

  --enable-plugins         build engines as loadable modules instead of
                           static linking them
... (everything after this point is correct)
