'configure' could locate bash and fix the scripts.

In fact, there are plenty of issues for which 'configure'
might be natural solution; such as, locating the
odbc library,  and building res_odbc only if found.

For the unsuspecting user, these are stumbling blocks
that may prevent them from building asterisk.

So, I wonder, whether putting some effort into the
'configure' scripts wouldn't be useful.
