configure: allow user to prevent $PATH "sanitization" on Solarissl/customize-sane-tool-path
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.
