[complib:mpfr] Fix building MPFR in some weird cases

The tmul test uses a compiled-in input file in $(srcdir).
The problem is that the Makefile passes it unquoted. The C code
tries to stringify it using clever macros, which may *usually* work.

In my case the source directory was named:
.../toolchain-powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe-1.0-2.fc10/.../tests
And guess what? During testing I found out the program fails because
it tries to open:
.../toolchain-powerpc-e500v2-1-gnuspe-1.0-2.fc10/.../tests

Yes, CPP tokenized the macro before stringifying it and not surprisingly
the 'linux' part was converted to 1.
[on Fedora-10: cpp (GCC) 4.3.2 20081105 (Red Hat 4.3.2-7)]

So the attached patch simplify the macros and pass the path as string
from the Makefile.

[config] Merge CONFIG_SHELL selection.

2009-08-02[config] Warn againt using ash as CONFIG_SHELL

[config] Warn againt using ash as CONFIG_SHELL

It apears that more and more ./configure scripts and Makefiles
make use of non-POSIXly correct shell constructs, that don't
work with ash.

For now, just warn the user against using ash, but keep it as
an option in case newer versions of the /broken/ components
come fixed, and we can again use ash, as it is in some cases
really faster than bash.

2009-08-02[config] Allow user to specify custom CONFIG_SHELL

[config] Allow user to specify custom CONFIG_SHELL

In case the shell the user wants to use as CONFIG_SHELL is located in a
weird place (eg. /opt/bash/bin/bash), or is weirdly named (eg. bash-4),
let the user enter the patch to the shell.

2009-08-02[config] Add bash as a possible CONFIG_SHELL
"Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr> [Sun, 02 Aug 2009 20:06:06 +0200] rev 1445
[config] Add bash as a possible CONFIG_SHELL

On some systems and/or for some components, it may be necessary to
explicitly use bash as the shell used by ./configure and Makefiles.

2009-08-02[config] Change the way to select the CONFIG_SHELL
"Yann E. MORIN" <yann.morin.1998@anciens.enib.fr> [Sun, 02 Aug 2009 23:43:15 +0200] rev 1444
[config] Change the way to select the CONFIG_SHELL

Transform the single boolean option to a 'choice' selection
with two options: "sh" and "ash".

This is needed to later add "bash" as override.
