[GRASS5] small configure problem on solaris 8 sparc

Hi, 

there is a minor problem with the new configure on solaris 8:
Solaris echo does not recognize the -n option. So the output of
configure (listing of libraries) is garbled. 
This is a problem with LOC_MSG from configure.in resp. aclocal.m4. I
know a fix, but don't know how to implement this with aclocal.m4:
if test `echo "one \c" | wc -w` eq 2 ; then
  ECHO="echo -n"
  EL=""
else 
  ECHO="echo"
  EL="\c"
fi

echo has to be replaced with:
$ECHO "this is a message $EL"

Thanks,

Andreas
