Summary: Solaris /bin/sh doesn't like $()

Initial Comment:
A new way to display option has been introduced in the ./configure script, that uses the shell $() syntax for execution. However, Solaris' /bin/sh is old and crusty, and does not support that, which leads to the following result when --help is used:

  --$(echo disable-scumm   don't build the SCUMM engine
  --$(echo disable-scumm_  exclude the v7 & v8 games in SCUMM engine
  --$(echo disable-he | s  exclude the HE71+ games in SCUMM engine
  --$(echo disable-agi |   don't build the AGI engine

I attached an obvious patch to fix that, should work on any shell.
