Summary: Bashisms in configure break build on Solaris

Initial Comment:
On Solaris 10, ./configure fails with the following error:

Running ScummVM configure...
./configure.original: syntax error at line 905: `PSPDEV=$' unexpected

The script uses /bin/sh, which is a real Bourne shell on S10, not bash, and thus  doesn't know the $() syntax. The script should either use bash explicitly or be fixed with the following very simple patch.
