Bug#582394: modest: FTBFS if sh == dash

Hi,

modest FTBFS if /bin/sh is dash.  This is a side-effect of the fact that
dash now supports LINENO, causing configure to run under dash rather than
bash; configure.ac contains bashisms (the use of == as an operator for
test) and configure therefore fails.

This appears to be the cause of the build failures of the recent binNMUs
of modest, at least on amd64 and i386.

Performing an s/==/=/g on configure.ac fixes the build issue, as does
adding "export CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/bash" to debian/rules.

Regards,

Adam
