configure: allow user to prevent $PATH "sanitization" on Solaris
On a Solaris 10 system with Solaris make installed as '/usr/xpg4/bin/make',
GNU make installed as '/usr/local/bin/make', and with '/usr/local/bin'
appearing in $PATH *before* '/usr/xpg4/bin', I was seeing errors like this
upon invoking "make all":
Usage : make [ -f makefile ][ -K statefile ]...
make: Fatal error: Unknown option `-C'
This happenes because the Git's Makefile, when running on Solaris,
automatically "sanitizes" $PATH by prepending '/usr/xpg6/bin' and
'/usr/xpg4/bin' to it in order to avoid using non-POSIX /bin/sh from
being used. In the setup described above, however, this has an
unintended consequence of forcing the use of Solaris make in recursive
make invocations -- even if the $(MAKE) macro is being correctly used in
them!
When building without using the autoconf machinery, this can be solved
by overriding $(SANE_TOOL_PATH). Teach the autoconf machinery to also
allow users of ./configure to override it from the command line with a
new --with-sane-tool-path option.
