Finally getting around to test...

I grabbed the CVS snapshot of 2005-06-20 and tried to build it on
Solaris 9 with Qt 3.3.3, using makespecs solaris-cc.  The following
changes to the configure script were necessary:

Solaris' /bin/sh is insufficient to run the configure script, if you
want to pass command line arguments to it.  It's not POSIX compliant,
so the easiest way to fix it is of course to use a compliant shell.
However, changing the shell path in the configure script will probably
break things on *BSD, so maybe the first hunk should be left out.

The rest of the patch concerns Sun's C compiler not being the same as
Sun's C++ compiler.  I have checked that this patch doesn't break
building on Linux, so it should be okay.

After building it, it seems to work fine, both with and without tabs.
